    The following message is being listed consistently  

     

    05:30:09Access point 00:24:6c:c9:1a:d9 with name 00:24:6c:c9:1a:d9 and IP address 192.168.1.17 warm-started 326 time(s)

     

    I assume the AP needs to be replaced?

    is the Instant or Controller based?

     

    i assume a warm boot is a proces restart, there might be a valid reason for that which is not hardware related. how often does it actually happen? have you reset that AP back to factory default and get it up again? is there anything else in the logs indicating a reason?

     

    i think the fastest way to go is try to RMA it, probably TAC will ask you some questions and determine is this is hardware related or just another type of issue.

     

    please do report back if you try to RMA and what the resultat was.

    You can type:

    show ap debug counters ap-name 00:24:6c:c9:1a:d9

     ..and see what the nature of the warm starts are, to get an idea of what is happening.

     

    You can also type "show log system 50" to see if the access points says why it is restarting, in addition.  The reason why an AP is restarting now and the reason why it restarted before is not always the same.  If you mounted and powered an AP before the controller was in place, it would restart quite a few times.  If the reason for it restarting is different, lately, you need to determine that to see if it is a configuration, network or a hardware issue.

    Looks like it isn't talking to the controller. What might cause that?

    Is there a firewall or a WAN between the controller and that access point?

    I don't believe there is.

    I rebooted the controller to adjust the date/time and now I see these messages...doesn't look good.

    Well I believe I found the issue. We have two AP's with the same static IP address...crap

    and that is one of the reasons why you should use DHCP to provide IP addresses for your APs and try to stay away from static settings as much as possible. (if you can of course)
