Client couldn't connect to LAP3502E

Erik Boss

Hi there,

we have a random problem with a customer, connecting to an AP. I'll explain further.

This customer has 5 5508 WLC controllers, version 7.0.230.0 with several cisco 1142 and 3502e AP's. All in one mobility domain.

Randomly some AP's don't accept clients to connect. Requesting for an IP-address by DHCP on the client (XP).

I just made ssh connection to the AP's, did some debugging. No information. Checked the logging, nothing I wanted to see.

Even debug ip packet, give me the insufficient information I want to have.

When we reboot the AP, everything will work fine, but some several weeks later, this AP will have the same problem again.

The capwap tunnel still exists, I could ping, telnet/ssh the AP.

Even when a user tries to connect, I don't see any authentication debug messages.

This AP exists in a clean room environment, but is sometimes happens with an AP in a open office space.

Logging a tac case is not an option, due to the lack of debug output I receive.

Does someone have any experience with it or some options to debug it in detail?

I think the AP hardware has a failure, but I want to know it for sure.

Best regards,

Erik

Upgrade to 7.0.235.5 and see if that fixes your issue. If you know a reboot is the fix, upgrade. If the problem persist after the upgrade, RMA the AP. that's what I would do.

Thank you Scott.

I spoke with the customer. We'll upgrade the controllers.

Regards.

Hi,

does the upgarde solve the issue?

we have a similar issue with one AP (3502E) on a 5508 WLC (7.0.116.0).

thanks

We have to wait until the next the problem exists.

This could be in 3 or more weeks.

To upgrade the WLC to 7.0.235.3 is always advisable.

Regards,

Erik
