failed to roam to antoher AP in different controller

sqrobin
Level 1
Level 1

Hi everyone...

I'm having issue with roaming problem...

when client roams to another AP which reside to another controller the connectivity is dropped... the connection status is still there but I can't longer ping to the outside...

I noticed that the roaming already success by looking the client list on another WLC which the AP reside but the Auth status is NO...

I assume this is the cause that the connection is dropped..

I already setup the mobility domain group, RF group in one name (case sensitive right?) and register every WLC mac addr and ip add on the mobility group. I check the status controller --> mobility group, all registered wlc in the same local mobility group already UP...

I setup my WLAN with WPA2 + AES with DHCP Addr Assignment Required checked on the advanced setting on the SSID...

I also have Client Band Select enabled.

WLC1 and WLC2 in on the same subnet and there is no firewall between WLC (I'm using WiSM actually) and between AP

I'm wondering.. anyone have experienced this problem??

I really appreciate anyone who can help

I never use that feature, but if you have that setup on wlc2 and wlc1 which are working, then I don't know why it wouldn't work for wlc3.

no Scott... it fails to another WLC also... not just one WLC but to other WLC also...

so if I start connected to wlc1 and roams to wlc2 or wlc3.... it will fails if DHCP Addr Assign Required enabled...

same thing if i start from wlc2 and want to roam to wlc1 or wlc3...

Is the DHCP proxy setting the same across all WLCs? What about the virtual IP address? These settings should be the same across your controllers for proper mobility.

*NOTE* changing the virtual IP address requires a WLC reboot.

-Pat

DHCP Proxy setting enabled on all WLC

virtual interface already has same IP Address 1.1.1.1 on all WLC...

Alright, in this scenario it's time to capture some debugs:

Capture the output of a "debug client xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx" (where xx is the client mac address)

Capture this output from both the original WLC and the new WLC you are roaming to, from the start of the initial client connection.

It also might be time to open up a TAC case for more in-depth analysis.

-Pat

oke thanks... I will try..

so it means just only me with this scenario that having such problem...?? and other not having this issue with same scenario??

The client debugs will help us pinpoint the reason for the roaming failure. This is not normal behavior, we just need to figure out what is not working properly.

-Pat

here is the debug using yey SSID as a test

maybe anyone can know something from here

#scenario Open SSID with DHCP Addr Assignment Required enabled

We had an issue in 7.0.98.0 WLC code where the client would be incorrectly deleted, which appears to be the situation in your environment.

CSCti91944 -- Unified AP removing clients on maximum retries.

My suggestion would be an upgrade on the WLCs when possible -- 7.0.220.0 (latest maintenance release)
