When troubleshooting a WLAN with 802.1X tunneled SSID issues, AP tunnel states indicate the status of the connection between the AP and the gateway/controller. The states 'SM_STATE_REKEYING' and 'SM_STATE_CONNECTING' could indicate transitional states where the connection has not been fully established, hence users might face issues connecting to the SSID. 'SM_STATE_REKEYING' implies that the AP is in the process of re-establishing encryption keys, while 'SM_STATE_CONNECTING' indicates that the AP is trying to establish a connection with the controller or gateway. These states could lead to temporary connectivity issues until the state transitions to 'SM_STATE_CONNECTED'.

Wait, are we sure about SM_STATE_SURVIVING? Seems odd.

Totally agree, SM_STATE_CONNECTING is a big red flag.

SM_STATE_SURVIVED? Really? That doesn't sound right.

I think SM_STATE_RE_KEYING might be the culprit too.

SM_STATE_CONNECTING could definitely be an issue.

I recall a similar question where we had to identify states that could lead to connection failures. I think both SM_STATE_CONNECTING and SM_STATE_SURVIVED might be relevant here.

I feel like SM_STATE_RE_KEYING might be related to the issue too, but I need to double-check if it actually prevents users from connecting.

I think SM_STATE_CONNECTING could definitely be one of the states causing problems, but I'm not sure about the second option.

I remember we discussed the different states during our practice sessions, but I'm not entirely sure which ones indicate a connection issue.

I'm a little confused by the wording of this question. I'll need to re-read it a few times to make sure I understand which two states are the correct answer.

I'm confident I know the correct answer here. The two states that could be the issue are "SM_STATE_REKEYING" and "SM_STATE_CONNECTING".

Okay, I think I've got this. The two states that could be causing the connection issue are "SM_STATE_REKEYING" and "SM_STATE_CONNECTING". Let me double-check and submit my answer.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about the difference between "SM_STATE_SURVIVING" and "SM_STATE_SURVIVED". I'll need to review those states carefully.

This question seems straightforward, but I want to make sure I understand the tunnel states correctly before selecting my answer.

This is a good opportunity to demonstrate your understanding of NIS and automount. Make sure you read the question thoroughly and follow the steps precisely. Don't forget to specify your station number where required.

C and E for sure. If the clients can't connect, it's probably because the APs are either 'connecting' or 'connected', not in some other random state. I mean, 'SM_STATE_REKEYING'? Sounds like a new dance move or something.

I'm going to go with C and E. If the users can't connect, the APs are probably in the 'connecting' or 'connected' state, not the other options. Although, 'SM_STATE_SURVIVED' does sound like it could be a superhero alter-ego. Just saying.

Hmm, I'd go with C and D. 'Connected' and 'surviving' seem like the states that would cause connectivity issues. Who comes up with these weird state names anyway? 'Surviving'? Really?

User 3: I agree, 'surviving' doesn't sound like a good state for a network connection.

I'm not sure about SM_STATE_REKEYING, but I think SM_STATE_CONNECTING could definitely be causing the problem.

I agree with Gregg. SM_STATE_REKEYING and SM_STATE_CONNECTING seem like the most likely culprits.

I think the possible AP tunnel states that could be causing the issue are SM_STATE_REKEYING and SM_STATE_CONNECTING.

C and E sound like the right choices here. If the clients can't connect, the APs are likely in the 'connecting' or 'connected' state, not 'rekeying' or 'surviving'.
JE
Jennie

Yes, if the APs are in the 'connecting' or 'connected' state, that could be why the clients can't connect.

I think you're right, C and E are the possible AP tunnel states causing the issue.
