APs losing connectivity

alaroja — Wed, 09 Jul 2025 18:00:04 GMT

Hi, I have a handful of APs that can't seem to connect to their controller.

They come online and are reachable about maybe once an hour or so, but will go back offline after a few minutes. There doesn't seem to be any pattern in regards to the time. During this time they can ping the controller, and are in a running state. But then they switch back to discovery state. Any help is appreciated.

get scg returns the following:

------ SCG Information ------

SCG Service is enabled.
AP is not managed by SCG.
State: DISC
Server List: [Controller IP here]
No SSH tunnel exists

I was able to get the most recent syslog log:

Hello Alaroja,

From the logs you shared, I can see there is no entry of the SCG information in the get scg.

could you please run the command set scg ip <ip address of the controller>

Preview

I will wait for the response, if still doesn't work do share the support log of the AP as well.
