Ap will not hold config

[Islam Sallaj]

Curious to know if anyone has experienced an issue where the give an ap a name then find out later that the name is gone and the configure is lost.

It's an AIR-LAP1142N-A-K9 running 12.4(23c)JA3

I'm first thought is hardware issue.

There has been a few comments about this. I think we may have hit this issue. But waiting for it to happen again.

We experience this issue with MESH 1522 APs, some of them.

The issue was not fully isolated but we are aware it is related to the power and/or bad cabling. The APs that loses their names usually lose power frequently or cables are very bad so they lose connectivity (power and cables are related because we power AP over the wire).

What is interesting though (and I discovered that just recently) if I leave the AP for sometime with its default name it will move ot use the original correct name!! I have no idea why that is happening. but that means the config is not lost just the AP - for some reason - does not use it.

What is your WLC version?
