Losing access to network

[ISoliman]

Please contact the support team, and also make sure the "wireless security filter" under teh VSC config is disabled "unchecked", you might need to resync the APs after that.

If same issue exists after that then support team will be able to help after providing the data/logs from the controller.

Kind Regards,

Islam

thanks for the reply - if you were referring to me, the three I am testing are in autonomous mode, no controller yet, because it's backordered for another month. And I checked, the wireless security filter is unchecked on all of them. I am bummed, because I wanted to get a headstart installing these before the controller arrives and just setting them up individually. I have almost 70 left to install, but that is at a standstill until this gets resolved. thx

I am having this same issue on software version 5.5.2.14 has anyone found a solution yet?

I still have a case open with support from April. They ask for more information once in a while, but I am still not sure what they are finding. I have 150 more APs to deploy in November and I don't have a warm fuzzy feeling about it. Especially since they are MSM460s and I can't revert back to 5.4.x or 5.3.x.

And I have the same problem. Have raised a case with support, but they asked for a lot of details, which I gave them. That's a month ago now... I have around 100 APs deployed, and plans for around 50 more...

I had the same problem. You can try increase "retry interval" in the configuration of RADIUS.In my case it worked

I am amazed to see all of these posts. I posted this months ago, and happened to be on here looking for a solution to a probably unrelated issue.

As way of an update, the reason I am so surprised is because I have gone round and round with HP support over these months, and HP has consistently told me that they have never heard another customer mention a similar issue. They had gotten me to the point of really thinking this was my issue, and in fact they have taken NO ownership of it. Meanwhile our company's wireless is notorious and has become the bane of my work week.

The problem still remains. It does not happen with any regularity. It has gone for 2 weeks without a hiccup and then bam it goes down hard. Then after a controller reboot it'll be stable again for a week or two.

Ultimately I feel like this HP solution is just not robust enough to support my users. I have already spent more in troubleshooting than the entire purchase price. We will have to replace this with Cisco or live with the unreliability.

Thank you all for the input, I'm sorry we are living with an inferior solution.

Hi!

I eventually, after several email to ask if they were dead, got an answer from support again. They said that they think my problem is solved with 5.5.3. (Something about auto-channel bug).

I installed this last weekend, and haven't really had time to test properly yet, but the initial observations seems positive... Anyone else have any experience about 5.5.3?

Regards,

Stian
