Access Point Troubleshooting

The table below lists some of the troubleshooting guidelines for the access point (AP).
Problem Solution
The AP did not receive a valid IP address via the DHCP. Be sure that the DHCP server is on and available on the VLAN/subnet connected to the AP. If the AP fails to get a valid IP address, you can reboot it to see if that resolves the problem.
Unable to connect to the server.
  • Be sure you have an active server and reachable from the network connected to the AP. If a firewall or a router has Access Control Lists (ACLs) enabled between the AP and the server, allow traffic on UDP port 3851.
  • Use the IP-based server discovery method and be sure you have correctly entered the DNS name, wifi-security-server , on the DNS server.
  • Be sure the DNS server has correctly configured IP addressesor provided by the DHCP server.
  • The AP might fail to authenticate with the server. In this case, an 'Authentication failed ' event logs to the server. Refer to the event for recommended action.
The AP has encountered a problem.
  • If using Arista Cloud Services, then open the TCP port 443 (SSL). If you have an on-premises installation, then open UDP port 3851 and TCP 443.
  • If using a Proxy, Web Accelerator, or URL Content Filter between the AP and the Internet, ensure that the settings allow communication between the AP and Arista Cloud Services. For more information, see Wi-Fi Access Points Server Communication Workflow.
