Table 7-18. Reasons for Access Point Failures
Failure Description
No Database Entry MAC address of the access point is not in the local Valid AP database or the external RADIUS
server database, so the access point has not been validated.
Local Authorization
Authentication password configured in the access point did not match the password configured in
the local database.
Not Managed Access point is in the Valid AP database, but the access point Mode in the local database is not
set to Managed.
RADIUS Authentication
The password configured in the RADIUS client for the RADIUS server was rejected by the
server.
RADIUS Challenged The RADIUS server is configured to use the Challenge-Response authentication mode, which is
incompatible with the access point.
RADIUS Unreachable
The RADIUS server that the access point is configured to use is unreachable.
Invalid RADIUS Response The access point received a response packet from the RADIUS server that was not recognized
or invalid.
Invalid Profile ID
The profile ID specified in the RADIUS database may not exist on the controller. This can also
happen with the local database when the configuration has been received from a peer controller.
Profile Mismatch Hardware Type: The access point hardware type specified in the access point Profile is not
compatible with the actual access point hardware.
