Fixing Common WX Setup Problems

621

Client cannot access
the network.

This symptom has more than
one possible cause:

„

The client might be failing
authentication or might
not be authorized for a
VLAN.

1 Type the display aaa

command to ensure that
the authentication rules
on the WX switch allow
the client to authenticate.
(See “Displaying the AAA
Configuration” on
page 507.)

2 Check the authorization

rules in the switch’s local
database (display aaa) or
on the RADIUS servers to
ensure the client is
authorized to join a VLAN
that is configured on at
least one of the WX
switches in the Mobility
Domain. (See “Assigning
Authorization Attributes”
on page 487.)

„

If the client and switch
configurations are correct,
a VLAN might be
disconnected. A client
connected to a
disconnected VLAN is
unable to access the
network.

1 Type the display vlan

config command to
check the status of each
VLAN.

2 If a VLAN is disconnected

(VLAN state is Down),
check the network cables
for the VLAN’s ports. At
least one of the ports in a
VLAN must have a
physical link to the
network for the VLAN to
be connected.

Configuration
information
disappears after a
software reload.

The configuration changes
were not saved.

1 Retype the commands for

the missing configuration
information.

2 Type the save config

command to save the
changes.

Mgmt LED is quickly
blinking amber.

CLI stops at boot
prompt (

boot>).

The WX switch was unable to
load the system image file.

Type the boot command at
the boot prompt.
