CubeG-5ac60ay 5Ghz flapping

Wed Dec 06, 2023 12:25 am

I have multiple CubeG-5ac60ay-SA APs with CubeG-5ac60ay clients setup with "active backup" bonding and have NAT setup in the CubeG-5ac60ay.

The problem is that if the 60GHz connects first, the 5GHz will only stay connected for about 10 seconds before disconnecting.
The APs say that the client is disconnecting for "management-protection failure", but the clients say "lost connection, registered to other device in network".

The only way it seems I am able to get the 5GHz from constantly disconnecting, is to disable the 60GHz for a few seconds, wait until the data rate increases from 6Mbps, and then re-enable the 60GHz. The clients will then stay connected to the 5GHz AP for days or longer without issue.

Is there something else I should change on 5GHz config (AP or client) to prevent the disconnects? I mostly followed the Fail-over PtMP CLI example directions. Could something in my firewall rules on the clients be causing the problem somehow?

Even after upgrading to 7.13 and trying MANY deferent wireless settings (nstream, security, management protection, etc), we are still experiencing the same problem. It seems like when the 5GHz is flickering that the bonding may be having a problem and dropping some packets on the 60GHz.

Try 60G: isolate-stations=yes on AP
