We have a multi-site network and we have a Mobility Master at our HQ office and local Controllers at each Remote Office.
1 of our smaller sites have 2 x 7005 Controllers with a handful of AP-325 in Campus mode. Other sites have AP-325 or AP-345 with 7010 local controllers or larger models. Things are working well for the most part; but, I have noticed that the samell site I have needed to restart the AP-325's from time to time.
Not all of them; but, just 1 here or there and then after the retgart command was issued from teh Mobility Master (MM>apboot ap-name <name><enter>) then the problems with that AP-325 go way. So far I have not needed to restart any AP's at any other sites. The problems were that users did not connect to these AP-325 and after teh retart it was fine. My questions are:
1). Why do these problems happen with the AP's and not with all f the AP's? These are a few AP's but all of them have had problems at some point (only a handful are setup in this office).
a. All of the controlelrs and Access Points have the same firmware version.
b. This specific site is the only one that has 7005 controllers.
c. Other sites have AP-345's but also have a different controller model. No need to retart the other AP-345's at other sites.
2). What can I do to maitain these Access Points so we do not have any problems?
a. Perhaps plan a maintenance window to regulary restart them in a planned scheduled manner?
3). Are there any logs I can look at and uload to support if there are any problems? Will these logs dissapear if I retart the A.P.'s?
