1562 RAP reboots after MAP joins.

[StefC]

Hi.

I configured a mesh between two 1562 APs and the root reboots within a few seconds after the MAP connects. I was getting the below error but it does not show up in the logs anymore. Basically the MAP joins, all is well for a maybe 20 seconds and then the RAP's power light turns off. It stays off for at least 30 seconds before flashing green as the AP reboots.

HAY is the MAP, OFF is the RAP. Attached are consoles and Radioactive Traces.

Controller is 9800-L-C with 17.6.4

I followed this to configure the bridge:

If there is another way I should be configuring this, can you send a link.

Trying to configure a bridge for lightweight AP traffic and wired traffic. About 6 VLANs traversing the bridge.

          - Could you check if MAP and RAP have same country , also same as configured on the controller ?

Yeh they are all AU. I ended up opening a TAC case. Will update once I have a solution.

Issue fixed.

Disabling BPDU Guard on the AP interfaces of both switches fixed the issue. Pretty embarrassing oversight.....

I also had to enable VLAN Transparent so that the local mode APs on the remote switch could connect to the controller.
