„The client might be failing authentication or might not be authorized for a VLAN.

„If the client and switch configurations are correct, a VLAN might be disconnected. A client connected to a disconnected VLAN is unable to access the network.

1Type the display aaa command to ensure that the authentication rules on the WX switch allow the client to authenticate. (See “Displaying the AAA Configuration” on page 507.)

2Check the authorization rules in the switch’s local database (display aaa) or on the RADIUS servers to ensure the client is authorized to join a VLAN that is configured on at least one of the WX switches in the Mobility Domain. (See “Assigning Authorization Attributes” on page 487.)

1Type the display vlan config command to check the status of each VLAN.

2If a VLAN is disconnected (VLAN state is Down), check the network cables for the VLAN’s ports. At least one of the ports in a VLAN must have a physical link to the network for the VLAN to be connected.
