Workgroup Bridge only probing.

Hi,

It's my first post so I hope I won't forget important details

I try to configure a WorkGroupBridge AP (Cisco 1240) with a LW-AP connected to a WL Controller 4400.

My situation looks like to this one : http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6366/products_configuration_example09186a0080905cea.shtml

The only thing I have to modify is the authentication encryption.

Below, the WLAN parameters.

Unfortunately and despite of many docs I've found on Cisco website, I don't understand the authentication error I have between WGB and AP.

A debugging on WLC give an infinite result of this error :

*Dec 13 13:24:08.798: 58:8d:09:8e:28:dc Scheduling deletion of Mobile Station: (callerId: 24) in 5 seconds

*Dec 13 13:24:08.851: 58:8d:09:8e:28:dc Scheduling deletion of Mobile Station: (callerId: 24) in 5 seconds

[...]

On the controller, the AP State is on "Probing" status.

On the WGB I just have this error :

%DOT11-4-CANT_ASSOC: Interface Dot11Radio0, cannot associate: WPAIE Invalid unicast suite count: 2

Can you help me to resolve this problem?

So, this is the conf I have configured :

on your wlc under your WLAN do you have aironet extensions check boxed ?

What security are you using on your wlc ?

Yes, "Aironet extensions" are checked

What Security? A Radius accounting with TACACS+ for local logging.

I see on the bridge you have WPA / TKIP and on your controller you have WPA/WPA2 and AES and TKIP.

hav you tried just allowing WPA / TKIP on your WLC.

Yes, I tried... No changes.

My advice at this point since its still just in probe state.. Rip the wgb back to basic meaning no security and then start to apply pieces of your Config and test as you go along.
