WC7520 Rebooting Itself
Hi Everyone,
Beginning this week, I have had an issue where our WC7520 randomly reboots itself (not the APs, the controller). We're on firmware version 2.5.0.42. The controller just reboots itself, which kicks everyone off the wireless (which we are mainly using in a school) until it initializes, then all APs connect, apply settings, etc.
Has anyone else experienced this?
So it looks like this is due to an issue with firmware version 2.5.0.42, as it has been pulled and 2.5.0.43 is in its place.
I found a very similar situation on the community after my initial posting > WC7520 reboot Issue after AP's ip change.

It just happened again when I unplugged an AP from the network to plug into a desktop switch (without powering down the AP first).
Could this somehow be the cause? It's the only thing that I did around the time that it happened this afternoon and, now that I think about it, the other day as well.
