I'm getting the above message in the logs from some of my AP's, I can't seem to find any information on it-- any ideas?

Thanks!

Tim

Where are you seeing this error on? Post more of the log and let us know what equipment and code you are running.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply. I am seeing this is logs from the AP's themselves.

The software version information follows:

Software Version 4.2.112.0

Thanks!

Well this is what I found, also is it just one AP? Lookming at what you posted, it only shows one ap mac address. Review your configuration and verify your join process and mobility.

Error Message LWAPP-3-CLIENTERRORLOG: "s"

Explanation This log message indicates an LWAPP client error event. The message is logged to help in troubleshooting LWAPP access point join problems.

Recommended Action No action is required.

Hi, No it's on numerous AP's. When you say verify the join process, what do you mean? I've verified that the mobility group is up and working.

Thanks,
