    Hi,

     

    I notice a strange behavior of a WiFi Phone associated with our WiFi network, composed by 1 controller Aruba650 and 10 AP (1 AP105 + 9 AP93). The firmware version is ArubaOS 6.3.1.0.

    The phone is always in the same location, under an AP, but in the log I see the messages that I attached here on a file.

    The phone is deauthenticated by other APs, but these APs aren't the AP on which the client is associeted.

     

    Why I get these messages?What is the meaning oh these?

     

    Thanks,

     

    Massimo

    You should run the show ap association client-mac <device Mac >

    How close are those APs ? That the phone might be associating to one of those since it can hear the beacons from that AP but is not a healthy signal ?

    Here the output of the command show ap association client-mac <device Mac >:

     

    The phy column shows client's operational capabilities for current association

    Flags: A: Active, B: Band Steerable, H: Hotspot(802.11u) client, K: 802.11K client, R: 802.11R client, W: WMM client, w: 802.11w client

    PHY Details: HT   : High throughput;      20: 20MHz;  40: 40MHz
                 VHT  : Very High throughput; 80: 80MHz; 160: 160MHz; 80p80: 80MHz + 80MHz

    The APs it's not very closed, but the strange thing is that the client is always associeted on the same AP, never with the others.
