phones cannot connect to WLC 9800 and AP 9100

Hi,
we are in testing the new WLAN environment of WLC 9800 and 3 APs 91xx, but
two Smartphones: One+ 8, Sony XZ2 can not connect to the WiFi, while this works with 2700s APs
- there are no requests seen on the Radius (there is no request from phone coming on the Radius server)
- works well if tried with other devices - laptops and phones Samsung, Apple, Dell
- same scenario works well if client is connecting to open/free test WiFi
- tried to off/on 11ax - no go

Debug:
Client is 4c4f.eedc.3d5a

Just a quick update; please refer the symptoms for this bug as well.

https://bst.cloudapps.cisco.com/bugsearch/bug/CSCvu24770/?rfs=iqvred

 

Another symptom when you do a OTA pcap you will see the probe request and response but no association request.

Hello Boris, 

 

the debug you pasted shows a successful connection. Client ends in "RUN" state, which is good. 

 

What version is running on your WLC? Are your 2700 APs are connected to the same 9800 WLC and use the same SSID and configuration as the 9100 APs?

 

Can you paste the log of a failed connection? Whats the error message on the phones?

Hi Tony,

Version 17.03.04; WLAN SSID is visible
- WLAN forget.delete.reboot has been tried many times
- Authentication runs over RADIUS;

- config of 2700 and 9100 are identical

- on the client we see IP can not be found etc

 log unsuccessful try:

 

 

 

 

Regards

Borislav

Try to disable 802.11r (Fast Transition) if enabled. In my testing, even on Adaptive, it seems to be broken with at least Android 10 devices (they can't connect). I tested this on WLC 8.10.158.90 though. 

it was already disabled;

will check Android ver and if other phones that can connect are on different ver.

thanks!

 

Also this client states that it is in RUN state so it successfully connected to the network. Next step would be DHCP. Does it get an IP address in VLAN903?

on the phone we have "IP request" so it does not get IP probably.

Is the tags same across all the AP's?

Also is the devices running Android 11?  If yes Android 11 QPR1 clients (December 2020 security update) will not be able to connect to any 802.1x authenticated wireless network that uses a self-signed certificate, a private certificate authority (CA) or a public certificate authority (CA) that is not pre-loaded within the Android 11 OS certificate trust store. The "Do Not Validate" certificate option traditionally used to bypass full certificate validation has been removed.

 

Possible resolutions:-

The RADIUS certificate used by the 802.1x wireless controller or access point must use either A certificate signed by a trusted public Root certificate authority and configured to supply clients with the full certificate chain (root -> intermediate(s) -> server), OR In the case of self-signed or private CA, pre-load the root and any intermediate certificates on the device's trust store prior to connection.

update: "Fast Transition" was adaptive enable, when switched to disable or enable

- we got one of the two phones connected;

Android ver. 10

the issue does not persist on APs2700 connected to the same controller 9800 WLC and the same SSID but with the 91k APs the phones can not connect. 

Regards

Boris
