Wireless Access

Hi All,

I have an AP that randomly goes down every so often. I have done the following so far:

- Changed the AP 3 times

- Swapped out the cable

- Checked licensing and enough RAP licenses are available

- Checked switch port and it is running at a gig

There are 5 AP's at this site that are deployed as RAP and this is the only one that is playing up.

Here is controller logs of the AP can you let me know what they mean:

Still nee a bit f help on this. AP keeps going up and down.

I collected the debug, but cannot understand why it is going down. I have attached it for you to see if you can see anything.

It does not have a reboot reason, which means that power is being cut from this AP.  How are you powering this AP and what model is the AP?

I have asked them to power it using a POE injector to see if that makes a difference. Also, to move the AP to a different switch port to see if that stops the power cutting out on the AP.
