Hello everybody,
I started replacing our 1262n with new 3702e and found a curious problem. All switchports on different switches where the new 3702 are connected have input errors. These error counters get incremented by 1 every 30 seconds, even if there are no clients connected to the AP on this port. These ports and the cabling are ok, I can change back to a 1262 and get no more input errors, but really all of the 3702 generate 1 error every 30 seconds.
So, what's wrong with them? What about others with these APs, are your interfaces free of errors or do you experience the same problem?
I have no special config on my ports, they are just simple access ports with the capwap-vlan applied, all APs are in local mode:
Current configuration : 141 bytes
!
interface FastEthernet2/2
description apxxx
switchport access vlan xxx
switchport mode access
spanning-tree portfast
end
If others experience the same issue then there's something wrong with the code but if I'm the only one I'd take the time to do further investigations.
Thank you and kind regards,
Christian

Hi Christian, I have this very exact problem too. I have many 3702i APs.
What we have fount is the same. Every 30 seconds we get a input error.
We have seen that this only happens on APs with power injector installed
and not when they connect to 2960x with poe+ support. So it seems to be the switchtype
doesn´t matter. Have you found anything new or solved this issue ?

No Kristjan, as already said in my last response I stopped doing further investigations since everything runs fine and obviously it's only a cosmetic thing on these old 4k5 chassis. The captures didn't show any anomalies.
Regards,
Christian

After upgrading to 7.6 MR2 (7.6.120.0) these errors are gone, Cisco finally fixed the code.

Bug identified:
https://tools.cisco.com/bugsearch/bug/CSCun12965
Symptom:
Lightweight AP may send CAPWAP packets whose size is larger than 1500 bytes for testing maximum Path MTU.
These large CAPWAP packets cause giant errors on a directly connected switch, if the switch does not enable jumbo frame support.
Because AireOS based Wireless LAN Controller does not support jumbo frame, this behavior should not be enabled by default.

We had already spotted this bug and updated our WLC´s
We no longer have problems with giant frames.

May not be related but look at this thread.
It looks like the interface where the AP is directly connected to a 3850 needs the command "<ap name> no jumbo-mtu
".

Hello everyone,
I have this problem but I have noticed that the errors are giant packet errors.
So on a WS-C2960X-48LPD-L with poe+ I have no input errors but every 30 seconds I get a giant packet.

Looks to me that it has nothing to do with the power injectors or switches, the packets christian.schrank was describing seem to be the cause of the problem...
Since I do not have a 3850 I cant use the "no jumbo-mtu" command for AP's...
Any ideas?
Seems to be leaning towards a TAC case though...

I had the same issues and found this link below.
