Trouble with access point not associating during an active wireless survey

nh6we — Mon, 05 Jul 2021 11:09:20 GMT

I have two cisco 3702 access points that are configured the same but one associates during an active ping survey without issue and the other one doesn't. I checked them out side by side and the config is the same. Any idea why one associates and the other doesn't? I am using Ekahau version 8.1.1. I think the issue is somewhere in the access point config but I cant seem to find anything.

Any ideas???

You trying to survey with

You trying to survey with both AP's up at the same time? If so, that might be the issue you are facing. If you just try to power up the one AP that isn't working, you will not get DHCP, so you will have to configure a static address. Are you able to connect and ping the AP then? Just trying to understand exactly what you are trying to do. Also, have you tried to used the working configuration on the non-working one and just changing the hostname and ip address of the AP?

No, I am using them

No, I am using them separately (one is powered off). I can ping and gui into the non-working one without issue

I would remove this

Rasika Nayanajith — Sun, 01 Nov 2015 19:05:34 GMT

I would remove this "infrastructure-ssid optional" command under SSID configuration.

dot11 ssid 3702eSurvey
 infrastructure-ssid optional

Also I cannot see any DHCP configuration on your non-working AP. Below available on your working AP

no ip domain lookup
ip domain name lmco.survey
ip dhcp excluded-address 192.168.11.1 192.168.11.100
ip dhcp excluded-address 192.168.11.200 192.168.11.254
!
ip dhcp pool survey
 network 192.168.11.0 255.255.255.0
 default-router 192.168.11.10
