APs unable to adopt to Controller RFS6K v5.8

Hi Champs!

Our client having issue where the APs at one of the sites are not joining the controller. Though the APs are up and running, serving the clients as well but we can’t see them online on controller.

We can ping the APs from the controller CLI and vice versa.

Another thing we noticed yesterday, when we logged into GUI of an AP, we could see rest of the APs there.

Any thoughts?



RFS6000 v5.8

AP Model: AP7131

In case any low bandwidth WAN links are present between the remote sites with high latency and packet loss, it is recommended to increase the default MiNT Hello Interval and Adjacency Hold Timer on both AP and Controller Profile. Usually hello interval value of 60 with adjacency hold-time of 180 should suffice on high latency links, but in some rare cases it may be extended to 120 hello interval and 360 adjacency hold-time.

If that is the case this knowledge article should help~
What is recommended MINT MTU size?

By the way, for remote site AP, you should be using
controller host level 2
For more information, please refer to the best practice guide pg 12
