WLAN falling out of the AP group

Just wondering if anyone has encountered this before.  Got a call stating that devices were not working on the wireless network. Doublechecked all settings on the WLC and everything looked good except that under the AP Groups, WLAN tab, the SSID was no longer showing up as being added to the group.
When i tried to add it back, i got error message stating that it already existed. I had to delete the WLAN and rebuild it, and then add it back to the AP group. After that, devices came back online immediately.
Model - NMEWLC-12
code - 7.0.240.0
Ive had this happen on two different controllers running the same code. Anyone seen this before?

Hello,
As per your query i can suggest you the following solution-
The issue may be because of the number of clients per WLAN or per radio.
Configuring Maximum Number of Clients per WLAN (CLI)
Step 1 Determine the WLAN ID for which you want to configure the maximum clients by entering this command:
show wlan summary
Obtain the WLAN ID from the list.
Step 2 Configure the maximum number of clients per WLAN by entering this command:
config wlan max-associated-clients max-clients wlanid
Configuring Maximum Number of Clients per AP Radio Per WLAN (CLI)
Step 1 Determine the WLAN ID for which you want to configure the maximum clients per radio by entering this command:
show wlan summary
Obtain the WLAN ID from the list.
Step 2 Configure the maximum number of clients per WLAN by entering this command:
config wlan max-radio-clients client_count
You can configure up to 200 clients.
Step 3 To view the configured maximum associated clients, use the show 802.11a command.
Hope this will help you.

    Fixing a fall-out from the DefaultItemRenderer change.  When labelDisplay comes on-board, we should check to see if the label property has been set, and push it down in there if it has.  We need this because the labelDisplay isn't created until createChildren() time, which happens when the component is first validated, but for some scenarios, the component may not be on-screen at the time we set the label property.  Also, itemIndex needs to be "cloned" in the drag'n drop scenario.

  • How to fake ISDN b-channels as busy out of the pri-group timeslots definition ?

    Hi, Cisco Support Community,
    This is my first post here, so I hope I won't make mistakes... First, thanks for reading me.
    I wanted to reuse an old 2811 to act as a SIP gateway on an ISDN primary rate interface. This router is featured with 2 PVDM2-8 modules, so that we're able to handle up to 16 simultaneous calls. So I ordered a pri with 10 channels, which is supposed to be more than enough for our usage.
    Everything works fine, excepted that I discovered that the PRI which was delivered to us is a full one, meaning 30 B channels.
    As a result, as incoming calls are dispatched round robin by the isdn line provider, when incoming calls start to be presented on b-channel 16, the call is rejected by the router with a "channel unavailable" message... The only way to have a successful incoming call is then to have 15 more unsuccessful tries so that the calls are presented on B-channel 1 again :-/
    I have to wait for monday to deal with the line provider to sort this out, but meanwhile, I was trying to find a workaround.
    My first try was to use B-channel negotiation on the serial interface (isdn negotiate-bchan resend-setup), but it seems that b channel negociation is disabled on the provider side.
    So the other obvious solution would be to fake channels 17 to 31 as busy (isdn busy b_channel xx) ... But as the pri-group timeslots are 1-16, the related serial interface is serial0/0/0:15, and I'm unable to set busy B-channels over 15. And of course, I have no way to define pri-group timeslots 1-31 as I have not enough DSPs to handle more than 16.
    I also tried to use the ds0 busyout directive within the E1 controller configuration, but while the command is accepted, it does not appear in the configuration
    Below is my running configuration... If some of you can help, this would be much appreciated. Current IOS on the router is Version 12.3(11)T3
    Kind regards,
    Philippe Martorell

  • Has anyone else had the screws fall out of the bottom of 2012 2013 Macbook Pro Retina?

    Apple tried to repair my Macbook Pro Retina when I first got it. They took the back off, replaced the motherboard (which was not the problem), and returned it to me the next day (via FedEx). When I got the machine back, half of the screws on the back shell were falling out... and one was in crooked. Apple told me to take my machine to the authorized computer repair place to have the screws tightened. The screws were tightened and now, they are falling out again! I've read about needed some sort of locktight product to put the screws back in. I don't understand why an authorized repair place would not do this the first time! Can you tell me what the process should be on replacing the screws in the bottom (shell) of the Macbook Pro Retina? I've heard that the shell should be replaced when the new screws are put in. Is this true? (I have AppleCare and will take my machine in next week for repair.... again!) Thanks!

    The first repair (when they thought logic board was bad) was a mail-in to Apple. They are the ones that did not re-apply the screws properly and they were falling out when I took computer out of the cardboard shipping box. Called Apple. They said take it to Computer Guys (only auth Apple repair here). Now, a new Mac store in the mall has opened. I think I will take it there this time since it was not done properly at the Computer Guys last time (however, Apple didn't put them back in properly in the FIRST place! Gee. I have Applecare and will stay with Apple repair only. Thanks! I appreciate everyone's input. It has been really helpful! The only reason I have not taken it to an Apple Store is because it is 3 hours away. I will see what this new Mac store has to offer. Oh... and, Apple Support did absolutely nothing for me! Did not even apologize for not fixing it properly the first time... and costing me time and money (as my computer is part of my job). Thanks again! Did Apple do this on purpose to keep us from repairing our own machines? I've seen so many complaints online and I imagine there will be more to come as the machines age and people try to make repairs themselves. Crazy.

  • Can I actualy ever get my WIFI to work without it falling out all the time? got macbook pro 2011

    My WIFI or Airport keeps losing connection when im online! All is good when im on the lead! but wireless my net is very unstable! the router is working all other pc's in the house are working just fine on there- IPODs too! Im a bit frustrated now and very disapointed that Apple is ok with shipping out macs that dont work! I can see im far from the only one with this problem!!! Another side effect from this problem is the very short range my WIFI provides!
    Can anyone help me please? any new updates- settings proposals etc???! anything will do! thank you..

    I'm having the same problem as you. Have a MacBook Pro 13, 2.53, late 2009. After I installed Lion my wifi has basically just stopped working. Most of the times I can connect with wifi, but it will fall out with certainty within half an hour. Often within just a few minutes. To resolve this I have choose my network from the list again, and sometimes I have to turn the wifi off and on again to get it working.
    It is most definetily not my router. We have several phones and computers on the same network, and they don't experience any problems. I also have the same problem if I use someone elses network.
    The problem occured after I installed Lion. After the last update I hoped this problem would be fixed. Anyone with some smart solution? Is Apple working on this?

  • I got my phone repaired by apple a few weeks ago and got a new glass display put in and the entire screen is falling out of the housing and the home button is not working I'm more than disappointed with this service

    I paid for this service to fix my glass on my phone and now the entire LCD display is not working and after my repair the home button stopped working and I went back and they told me it was like that before the repair which it wasn't and they are telling me I need to pay 300 plus for a replacement phone that's refurbished now I don't understand apples support is suppose to be the best in the business and I have been more then ripped of the service I got damaged my phone more than it was before I would like to know where I can go to talk to someone who will help me not tell me it's my fault this is outrageous!!!

    Take the issue up with whomever replaced the device, whether that is Apple or another company.
    There is nothing that we, your fellow users, in these user to user support forums can do for you.

  • Problems with user out of OS administrator group

    Hi!
    I have the following problem. I did an installation of several clients that point to a server, several months ago. The clients work with Windows 200 Professional. The installation in each client was made with a Windows user that has administrator privileges. I had no problems with the clients working with this user and they have been working up to now. But, when I try to take the OS user out of the ADMINISTRATOR group and into the groups USER or RESTRICTED USER, nothing works. I can't do anything that involves oracle and I get the following errors:
    - When I try to connect to my application, it says:
    Initialization error
    Could not load "C:\oracle\ora92\bin\oci.dll"
    OracleHomeKey : SOFTWARE\ORACLE\HOME0
    OracleHomeDir: C:\oracle\ora92
    Found: oci.dll
    Using: C:\oracle\ora92\bin\oci.dll
    Loadlibrary (c:\oracle\ora92\bin\oci.dll) returned 0
    - When I try to start the HTTP Server, the following error appears:
    Permision Denied. Could not open document config file c:\oracle\ora92\apache\apache\conf\httpd.conf
    Why?, whats happening?. Is there any special privilege that must be given to my non-administrator user?.
    Does it have to be in the Administrator Group necessarily?.I don't think so, but I don't know the solution. Any ideas?
    Thanks a lot

    It is probably a file system permissions issue. Try granting whichever users or roles need the Oracle client read/execute access on the %ORACLE_HOME% directory and subdirectories.

  • MacBook Pro Retina - power cord keeps falling out of machine

    Just purchased this MacBookPro 2 days ago and the mag safe power cord keeps falling out of the computer! Very frustrating! Any fixes for this?

    I know my wife lets out a *#@! now and then when she realizes her newer MBP had become disconnected from the MagSafe. It does take considerably less tension to pull it free. For those who have owned an Apple notebook with the previous version of MagSafe, this is a common complaint though I suspect Apple considers it a feature. The original MacBook Pro is considerably heavier than the MacBook Air and retina MBP models. Shortly after buying a 2011 MacBook Air I nearly pulled the computer off the table. Had it been the older MBP the MagSafe would have pulled free. So I suspect Apple intentionally made the new MagSafe easier to pull free. But as Oglethorpe said, you can take it back and should - if nothing else to compare your to the ones at the store.

  • DNS record ownership and the DnsUpdateProxy group

    I have a 2 x 2003 domain controller that have DNS and DHCP Services installed
    I was thinking of configuring DHCP to use a service account to update DNS records.
    If I set this, do the DHCP Servers need to be members of the DNSUpdateProxy security group for the service account to work?>

    I have to agree with John here. I don't think it's reasonable to just say 'ms told us so'. We need a
    technical before and answer is given. I have multiple DHCP servers and I use a security account on them to register the records and never use the
    DNSUpdateProxy Group and I have no problems. My thinking is this:
    Assume we are using Integrated Secure Zones in AD:
    Scenario 1:
    Windows DHCP server i registering records on behalf of clients
    Not a member of DNSUpdateProxy Group and not using dedicated account
    Records will have owner as dhcpserver$  and only that account can update
    This is a problem if that DHCP server fails
    Also, non Windows DHCP server with no AD account cannot update
    Scenario 2:
    Windows DHCP server i registering records on behalf of clients
    Member of DNSUpdateProxy Group and not using dedicated account
    Records will have owner as SYSTEM  and authenticated users can updated meaning any user or client on that domain
    No problem if that DHCP server fails as any other authorized DHCP server can update
    Non Windows DHCP servers can updated if they have a domain machine account
    Scenario 3:
    Windows DHCP server i registering records on behalf of clients
    Using a dedicated account
    Records added with owner same as this dedicated account
    Another DHCP server that also uses this same account can updated the records
    A non windows DHCP server that can use this account can also update the records
    Now, can someone from MS please clarify the technical reason they say that in Scenario 3, you must add the DHCP servers to the
    DNSUpdateProxy group ?
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc780538(v=ws.10).aspx
    I guess this link didn't help?
    DNS Record Ownership and the DnsUpdateProxy Group
    "... to protect against unsecured records or to permit members of the DnsUpdateProxy group to register records in zones that allow only secured dynamic updates, you must create a dedicated user account and configure DHCP servers to perform DNS dynamic updates
    with the credentials of this account (user name, password, and domain). Multiple DHCP servers can use the credentials of one dedicated user account."
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd334715(WS.10).aspx
    Just to add:
    Why is the DnsUpdateProxy group needed in conjunction with credentials?
    The technical reason is twofold:
    DnsUpdateProxy:
     Objects created by members of the DNSUpdateProxy group have no security; therefore, any authenticated user can take ownership of the objects.
    DHCP Credentials:
     Forces ownership to the account used in the credentials, which the DnsUpdateProxy group allowed to take ownership other than the registering client.
    Otherwise, the default process is outlined below, and this applies to non-Microsoft operating systems, too, but please note that non-Microsoft operating systems can't use Kerberos to authenticate to dynbamically update into a Secure Only zone, however
    you can configure Windows DHCP to do that for you.
    1. By default, Windows 2000 and newer statically configured machines will
    register their own A record (hostname) and PTR (reverse entry) into DNS.
    2. If set to DHCP, a Windows 2000, 2003 or XP machine, will request DHCP to allow
    the machine itself to register its own A (forward entry) record, but DHCP will register its PTR
    (reverse entry) record.
    3. If Windows 2008/Vista, or newer, the DHCP server always registers and updates client information in DNS.
       Note: "This is a modified configuration supported for DHCP servers
             running Windows Server 2008 and DHCP clients. In this mode,
             the DHCP server always performs updates of the client's FQDN,
             leased IP address information, and both its host (A) and
             pointer (PTR) resource records, regardless of whether the
             client has requested to perform its own updates."
             Quoted from, and more info on this, see:
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd145315(v=WS.10).aspx
    4. The entity that registers the record in DNS, owns the record.
       Note "With secure dynamic update, only the computers and users you specify
            in an ACL can create or modify dnsNode objects within the zone.
            By default, the ACL gives Create permission to all members of the
            Authenticated User group, the group of all authenticated computers
            and users in an Active Directory forest. This means that any
            authenticated user or computer can create a new object in the zone.
            Also by default, the creator owns the new object and is given full control of it."
            Quoted from, and more info on this:

    If that doesn't help, I highly suggest to contact Microsoft Support to get a definitive response. If you do, I would be highly curious what they say if it's any different than what I found out from the product group (mentioned earlier in this thread).
    And of course, if you can update what you find out, it will surely benefit others reading this thread that have the same question!
    Thank you!

  • Thunderbolt signal keep falling out!?

    Hello i have problem with the thunderbolt signal keeping falling out.
    The problem occurs when i connect my MBA to a projecter or my tv, with an thunderbolt-vga adaptor or thundebolt-hdmi adaptor.
    In around 70% of the time the signal is good and display video and sound (when using Hdmi), but 30% of the time the signal drops/falls out and there is either no connection or only sound.
    Is the port falty or could it be something else?
    Hope you can help me.

    Ps. If needed i can post a video of the fallout

    I must say i'm very disappointed. I payed over 2800 euro's for a new laptop with thunderbolt screen and all i got is frustrations and no help from apple.
    Well, they did offer you help, only they'll need to get "hands on". Considering your investment, it's worth a trip to the nearest Apple store or service center, I'd say. Especially if it's unclear what causes your trouble... keep in mind that it could well be "user-inflicted" as well...
    For as long as the latter point is unclear, you'll have to admit that you have no reason to complain or similar.

  • Satellite Portege R705 Screws falling out from inside computer

    I've had two screws fall out of the INTERIOR of my Satellite Protege R705.  The first one hit my right hand as I picked up the laptop off my lap.  The second one fell off today when I picked the laptop up by the top of the screen (while it was open).  I did not see this one fall but heard it hit the floor & it was exactly the same type of screw as the first one.  Again, there are not screws missing from the exterior of my computer, or the opened DVD player.  
    Has anyone else had this happen and what do I do?  My computer is physically functioning OK other than it keeps saying one of my USB ports is not working even though both USB ports do work so I've ignored that warning.

    Kathy,
    A couple things.  First, this post is a bit dated, so probably better for you to start your own thread instead of posting to an old one. 
    Also, when posting, please provide the entire model number (which the OP did not).  It is provided on the bottom of the computer and looks something like Portege R705-P40.  
    Check the bottom of the computer and look in each one of the holes to see if you can find which one is missing a screw.  If you find it, just replace the screw using a jeweler's screwdriver.  If not, it likely is not going to be an issue as the case is held together with many screws. 
    Finally, as has been posted already, never pick up your computer from the screen, as you could break one of the hinges, and they are difficult to repair.
    If your computer is working then don't wory about it losing a screw.

  • DSL cable keeps falling out of Openreach modem

    I'm having an issue where the DSL cable doesn't "click" when I put it in, so the slightest pull or bump and the cable falls out and I lose my connection. I have had to sellotape the cable into the port just to stop it falling out all the time. I'm guessing this isn't a design flaw and my port is just busted, right? And would BT replace the modem for free?
    Solved!

    Hi there,
    I think the issue you're having is that the retaining clip on the rj-11 connector has snapped off, hence the reason that it doesn't click into place. I've had this a couple of times with rj-45 (ethernet) cables in the past.
    If I were you, I'd check your rj-11 lead to see if my suspicions are correct and if they are, then I'd go to that well-known auction site and do a search for rj-11 to rj-11 cables in the length you require.
    I hope this info helps.
