What does this output mean on my 350 Series Bridge?

[trevorjackson]

I am receiving the following output from my 350 Series Bridge that is the root bridge for 6 Access Points in regards to a specific access point. Could someone tell me what it means? Specifically in regards to deauthenticating and reason "Not Authenticated."

Deauthenticating [DP_EAST_POOL]0040965c06b3, reason "Not Authenticated"

This output means that the access point is going through the authentication process over and over. It can be caused by faulty software on the bridge (if there are more AP's showing this output) or it can be caused by a faulty antenna or perhaps some sort of radio interference. Check to see that you are running the latest firmware on the APs and bridge. Check the antennas and connections of the antennas to make sure nothing came loose. Check around the bridge and the AP in question to see if there is anything that may have obstructed the radio wave path.
