Meraki MR Local Auth Error 17

[Fernie]

hello i recently configured a labssid to use local auth on the MR to use Certificate Auth using MS Cloud PKI. worked fine when i tested that day but came back about a week later now getting an error 17. anyone know this error code or know where i can find a list of the error codes?

Log output: "auth_mode='wpa2-802.1x' 11k='1' 11v='1' error_code='17' radio='0' vap='8' channel='11' rssi='51'"

Hey Fernie,

It would take some more information typically to troubleshoot via the Community page and it might be best to open a support case. That being said, error code 17 is an IEEE 802.11 error code which means: Association denied because AP is unable to handle additional associated stations

This will typically happen in Meraki devices when client balancing is enabled and the AP tries to steer it to another AP but perhaps it fails to roam or doesn't support 802.11v . What happens if you disable Client Balancing under the Wireless>Configure>Radio Settings page as a test.

Disabling the Client Balancing worked thanks!
