WAC720 LOCKING UP
Having a radom lockup issue...on two different wac720 units at different sites the wireless just stops, can not log into the unit, disconnect/reconnect ethernet has no effect. Have to power cycle ...
Thanks for the logs. From the log at appears wireless client is leaving the BSSID. Do you know/have any other AP in the network which you have connected earlier? How busy is your wireless environment is? Can you can please login to AP CLI via SSH ( admin/password) and send us these detail?
1) Check wlan0 noise: should be around -90 dBm
- wl -i wlan1 noise
- wl -i wlan0 noise
2) Check wlan0 utilization: > 70 % means a lot of contention for the wireless medium
- get radio wlan1 wlan-util
- get radio wlan0 wlan-util
3) Check for the data rate of last packet in client info: data rate low means client is sending packets at low phy data rate that could be due to location or high network utilization
- get association detail (-- collect only the spcific client information alone)
- wl -i wlan1 sta_info <50:55:27:f1:f9:24>
4) Check for AP CPU and Memory utilization
- cat /proc/meminfo
- ifconfig
- brctl showmacs brtrunk
- netstat
- top

I just wanted to interject that we are having the same problems - I have (4) WAC720's at my location and they are working fine. We have one at my partners location and we have to reboot it all of the time. Sometimes 3-6 times a day. Not cool...
