D-Link Unified Access System User Manual
Viewing Access Point Authentication Failure Status
An AP might fail to associate to the switch due to errors such as invalid packet format or
vendor ID, or because the AP is not configured as a valid AP with the correct local or
RADIUS authentication information.
Status entries for failed access points are collected at a point in time and eventually age out.
The age value for each entry shows how long ago the switch recorded the entry. You can
configure the age out time for status entries on the Administration > Advanced
Configuration > Global page. You can also manually delete status entries.
To view a list of APs that failed to associate with the D-Link Unified Switch, click
Monitoring > Access Points > Authentication Failed Access Points.
Figure 63. Authentication Failed AP Status
The AP authentication failure list shows information about APs that failed to establish
communication with the D-Link Unified Switch. The AP can fail due to one of the following
reasons:
• No Database Entry—The MAC address of the AP is not in the local Valid AP database or
the external RADIUS server database, so the AP has not been validated.
• Authentication—The authentication password configured in the AP did not match the
password configured in the local database or RADIUS database.
To delete the entries for all APs from the failure list, click Delete All. To configure an
Authentication Failed AP to be managed by the switch the next time it is discovered, select the
check box next to the MAC address of the AP and click Manage. You will be presented with
the Valid Access Point Configuration page. You can then configure the AP and click Submit
to save the AP in the local Valid AP database.
If you use a RADIUS server for AP validation, you must add the MAC address of the AP to
the RADIUS server database. For more information, see Appendix B,
“Configuring the
External RADIUS Server” on page 205.
WLAN Bytes Transmitted Total bytes transmitted by the AP on this VAP.
