SmartZone - Access Points are not joining the Default Zone, they are online, but dashboard info is not refreshing

[bart_p_izj2rmjl]

Hi All,

I am struggling with getting APs connected to the SmartZone, I can see them connected, but their data for example Management VLAN is N/A, Provision Stage N/A, and what is very interesting Last Seen date is always the same as Registered On, which indicate that AP is able to join the scg and then after getting the newest config it drops at some point. I tried different AP models. I did set factory from AP cli then I quickly removed it from SZ GUI and I could see the same behavior. I tried to provision it with csv file as always - did not help.

I am able to see all the things in Events section when AP highlighted in dashboard, so why the the rest of the data is not visible in it?

This is what I see:

I can ping APs from my GW, from both SZs, 
communication works fine, there are no blocking rules set, it is connected on the same vlan, on SZ VLAN 1 should work at this stage of installation, I will change it later to tagged one.

I have log file from this AP if needed, Also I can send any API to the SmartZones, as I have Postman configured for this purpose already.

Please share your thoughts, I have spent some nights on this issue, I have no more time I guess...

Hi Bart,

Config status shows "Up-to-date" and that indicates AP is fully functioning.

Could you SSH into the AP and run below commands.

get scg

get wlanlist

Is the AP broadcasting SSID? If yes, are you able to connect?

Since this is a two node cluster, this could be also related to data indexing between the zones.

Make sure latency between these zones is nominal. If AP is functioning and broadcasting SSIDs as well, try to reindex cluster data by running below command on one of the SZs.

enable

debug

reindex-elasticsearch-all

yes

This doesn't required downtime or has any service impact.

@syamantak_omer Thank you, it worked

Unfortunately, I have do not have much luck today...

I am one step ahead as now I can see that all the names, zones and groups are fine, but prov stage and Mgmt vlan have 'N/A' and also Last seen is the time short after that moment of running the command you mentioned above. I tried to reboot and it still shows the same date and time.

I have been waiting 15 mins to see if the APs go offline, but they are not.
I have removed the AP mentioned above and it has been added back after 30s. Again without Default Zone, Group, 

.3 is SZ01 .4 is SZ02       /DHCP from server on the same subnet

Please compare, 'Last seen' with Events data,
