Please give list of reasons why a Root AP shuts down

kitty_ninja — Sat, 09 Jan 2016 00:35:39 GMT

Hello,

Will someone help me come up with, in a list format, why a root access point will shut down?

for example:

Built in feature/setting
faulty access point
etc.

Much appreciated,

Unless you have flakey power, they shouldn't ever shut down.
An administrator could manually shut down the AP.

Your AP might reboot, if unable to communicate with a ZoneDirector or SmartZone controller,
after an Admin specified (default 30 min) AP recovery period.

I'm not sure I could come up w/ a list.
In theory, a software bug could cause a hang and a reboot.

Are you ping-monitoring your APs and finding that they stop responding at some point?
What are your symptoms?

Are your APs on a controller?
Do logs show any related activity?
Does the GUI show you anything?
What happens when you try to access a problematic AP under the "monitor" tab of your controller?
