Issues with 2 AP1131AG AP's

apexnetworks

Level 1

Hi,

We have a site running 2 1131AG access points on different floors with the same SSID.

There have been issues with connections dropping over the last 2-3 months to some newer laptops and iphones that have been introduced to the network. It is almost totally intermittent and after updating the IOS and laptop drivers where possible, there is a still a problem that wont go away.

I have some example logging from both AP's when this happens (apologies for the date/time differences, however the events are all sequential)

AP1

*Dec  7 03:06:03.591: %DOT11-6-ASSOC: Interface Dot11Radio0, Station   7cc5.37fc.f8cd Associated KEY_MGMT[WPA PSK]

*Dec  7 03:06:06.326: %DOT11-4-TKIP_REPLAY: Client 7cc5.37fc.f8cd had 1 TKIP TSC replays

*Dec  7 03:08:45.326: %DOT11-6-DISASSOC: Interface Dot11Radio0, Deauthenticating Station 7cc5.37fc.f8cd Reason: Previous authentication no longer valid

AP2

*Feb 17 09:49:55.577: %DOT11-6-ASSOC: Interface Dot11Radio0, Station   7cc5.37fc.f8cd Associated KEY_MGMT[WPA PSK]

*Feb 17 09:50:34.418: %DOT11-6-DISASSOC: Interface Dot11Radio0, Deauthenticating Station 7cc5.37fc.f8cd Reason: Sending station has left the BSS

*Feb 17 09:51:45.826: %DOT11-6-ASSOC: Interface Dot11Radio0, Station   7cc5.37fc.f8cd Associated KEY_MGMT[WPA PSK]$11Radio0, Station   7cc5.37fc.f8cd Associated KEY_MGMT[WPA PSK]

*Feb 17 09:51:45.826: %DOT11-6-ASSOC: Interface Dot11Radio0, Station   7cc5.37fc^.f8cd Associated KEY_MGMT[WPA PSK]

*Feb 17 09:53:12.441: %DOT11-6-DISASSOC: Interface Dot11Radio0, Deauthenticating Station 7cc5.37fc.f8cd Reason: Sending station has left the BSS

Many Thanks,

There are 2 differents reasons :

1) *Feb  17 09:53:12.441: %DOT11-6-DISASSOC: Interface Dot11Radio0,  Deauthenticating Station 7cc5.37fc.f8cd Reason: Sending station has left  the BSS

=> this means that the laptop went out of coverage

2) *Dec  7 03:06:06.326: %DOT11-4-TKIP_REPLAY: Client 7cc5.37fc.f8cd had 1 TKIP TSC replays

=> either this is an active attack or the client is incorrectly replaying packets

I have been chasing this error on some of the 1242 outdoor point to point links I have installed.  I had been thinking interference but if anyone else has had the same experience and has a better answer I'm open to suggestions.  The weird thing with this is that the radios do not re-establish the link without being manually forced by a carrier busy test or a reboot. Once one of those two things are done the link returns just as happy as it was before it went away.

Scott, did you capture any more in the logs, if so can you post it?

George,
Not on that particullar one sorry...but it does happen with some frequency (no pattern) so i will post it as soon as I can pull some more logs.  However the same problem has occured on another point to point 1242 link that has been very stable untill this morning here are the logs for that:
Only found 3% interference on the channel that it had selected when I did the carrier busy test.  After the test it was set back to the same channel and has continue to work fine all day so far like I said no pattern here but the same Deauth error in the logs.
