Why would an ?Interfering AP detected? syslog message not contain the SSID information? 

Jul 05, 2014 07:35 AM

Product and Software: This article applies to all ArubaOS.

If an Aruba AP detects an interfering AP by listening to frames that do not contain the SSID, the syslog message it sends will not contain the SSID info. However, later when the AP learns the SSID of the interfering AP, it updates its monitored AP list, but does not send a new syslog message to reflect the SSID information.

Therefore, you may see "Interfering AP detected" syslog messages without the SSID.

Here is an example (marked in blue):
