WiFi devices not getting IP, WiFi Interface "unplugged", vxlan interfaces missing

We updated WiFi AP Firmware 3 days ago. on one location with some AP55c clients connecting to a WiFi will not get IP addresses. I cannot even see the DHCP requests with packet capture.

I noticed the WiFi interface is shown as unplugged. When I noticed the issue, the Interface did not even have a MAC address (00:00:00:00:00:00).

So I edited, disabled, enabled the SSID and the interface. It remains in unplugged status. No luck, at least it got MAC address again by those changes.

Unplugged and no MAC Address:

After changing and re-applying settings back to original values:

any help on this please?

update 7.7.2021: noticed missing vxlan adapters on the HA nodes that came up after reboot of the nodes. See comments below.

  • Seems like the APX is still talking to the Aux instead switching to the primary. That should be investigated by support, what is going on. Personally i moved most customers to Central wireless and VLAN for different matters.

  • I found a workaround for the issue without booting both HA appliances finally:

    remove it from the AP group, then add again. From CLI output below you can see that the missing 8 vxlan adapters were only added after this change. Same would have happened when rebooting the primary HA node.

  • both SSIDs that were not working are working now again. Clients get DHCP and Hotspot will appear. Web-Surfing is working either.
