Yeah, this stuff is insane. I can’t imagine how you defend this from the Cisco side.

Was amazed when I looked in the log of my switch when I couldn’t figure out why the ports got disabled. Wrong MAC address is also one of the problems we’re having with the 2702’s. Don’t know what they have been doing with these pre-loaded images on them. These images should have been tested better at Cisco… Van: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:[email protected]] Namens Lee H Badman Verzonden: dinsdag 11 augustus 2015 14:36 Aan: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Onderwerp: Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] New 3702 APs not playing well with Spanning-Tree Portfast Out-of-Box Thanks, Oliver- so this is known… good to know.

It's a right pita changing the port config to get them to connect, then reverting it later, but not as bad as the other firmware bug causing APs to use the wrong MAC address until they upgraded.

If you turn on the ability to see why in the switch, the APs – only when new out of box—are sending BPDUs to ports that have Spanning-Tree Portfast on as a rule. If you remove portfast, the new 3702s go off to the WLC just fine, get updated for code, and then work as expected. You can restore spanning-tree portfast, reboot the APs (that are no longer “out of box”) and they behave fine on the portfast-enabled ports. I’ve not seen this behavior with any other Cisco AP, and I don’t think it happened with our earliest 3700s, either. Does this oddity ring familiar with anyone?
