Authentication Issue 'eapol_timeout'

We are not use Authentication servers to authenticate wireless users.


Just use only WPA 2 encryption mode to authenticate wireless users.
But we identified there are a lot of EAPol timeouts happened during the client authentication

 

this is the error message: 
auth_mode='wpa2-psk' vlan_id='70' reason='eapol_timeout' reassoc='1' radio='1' vap='2' channel='48' rssi='55'


What would be the issue for this EAPol timeouts 

Is this issue occurring from end user device or Access Point side ?

 

How Can we minimize this eapol timeout issue?

I will be happy for any help or hits to resolve this issue

I don't have the answers but I find it really strange that your post is almost word for word a copy of this one : https://community.meraki.com/t5/Wireless-LAN/Authentication-Issue-EAPol-Timeout-on-WPA-2-PSK-SSID/m-...

 

But isn't EAPoL only used for 802.1X auth ?

Yes because I have some problem, and there is no solution for it

EAP is for Radius auth as mentioned already, I suggest you open a support ticket if you haven't already.

I am not 100% of the cause of this. But I had this problem also. And I was able to resolve it by enabling fast roaming 802.11r. Give that a shot and let me know if that works. If your able to that is. 

I was having a similar issue with a Meraki camera and enabling this resolved it, don't understand why but thanks so much for the tip, don't think I'd have tried it myself!
