hi
I have recently configured 2x 1100 AP (12.3)
1 is the root device and the 2nd is the repeater
i have configured 2 ssid 1 for the infrastructure and the other for the clients,i have secured this using mac authentication.
this is working okay, I did add the mac addresses of the 1100 ap's to the mac authentication list (both ethernet and wifi mac address) in addition i have added the mac address of the root unit on the repeater unit so it knows which AP is its parent.
so far so good.
now when i reset the repeater unit it does not re-authenticate with the root AP.
it comes up with the following event on the root unit event log.
first
Interface Dot11Radio0, Station repeater-AP2 000e.8383.apap Associated KEY_MGMT[NONE]
then
Interface Virtual-Dot11Radio0, changed state to up
followed by
Packet to client 000e.8383.abab reached max retries, removing the client
and finally
Interface Dot11Radio0, Deauthenticating Station 000e.8383.abab Reason: Previous authentication no longer valid
and then
Interface Virtual-Dot11Radio0, changed state to down
the repeater unit can no longer be pinged.
only when i restart the root unit does the repeater unit come back up
is this by design or am i missing something
