An access point might fail to associate to the wireless controller due to errors such as invalid packet format
or vendor ID, or because the access point is not configured as a valid access point with the correct local or
RADIUS authentication information. The Authentication Failed APs List page shows information about access
points that failed to establish communication with the wireless controller. Right-click on an AP to bring up
options to manage, or to view details.
An access point can fail due to any of the reasons:
Failure
No Database Entry
Local Authorization
Not Managed
RADIUS Authentication
RADIUS Challenged
RADIUS Unreachable
Invalid RADIUS Response
Invalid Profile ID
Profile Mismatch

Authentication Failed

MAC address of the access point is not in the local Valid AP database or the
external RADIUS server database, so the access point has not been validated.
Authentication password configured in the access point did not match the
password configured in the local database.
Access point is in the Valid AP database, but the access point Mode in the local
database is not set to Managed.
The password configured in the RADIUS client for the RADIUS server was
rejected by the server.
The RADIUS server is configured to use the Challenge-Response authentication
mode, which is incompatible with the access point.
The RADIUS server that the access point is configured to use is unreachable.
The access point received a response packet from the RADIUS server that was
not recognized or invalid.
The profile ID specified in the RADIUS database may not exist on the controller.
This can also happen with the local database when the configuration has
been received from a peer controller.
Hardware Type: The access point hardware type specified in the access point
Profile is not compatible with the actual access point hardware.
