APs stop pinging after a day of been able to ping

amb1s1

I setup 5 Access Point on POE Switch and the APs work fine. User are able to used them without any issues, but I'm not able to ping the AP or SSH into them. What I do is I shut and no shut the interfaces and then I'm able to ping and ssh into the APs, but that only last like one day. After I come back the next day, I always unable to ping the devices.

This is the interface config of the switch

interface GigabitEthernet1/0/1
 description connection to the AP
 switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
 switchport trunk native vlan 26
 switchport trunk allowed vlan 26,253,400
 switchport mode trunk
 speed 100
 duplex full
 srr-queue bandwidth share 1 40 50 10
 srr-queue bandwidth shape 10 0 0 0
 priority-queue out 
 mls qos vlan-based
 spanning-tree portfast trunk
 spanning-tree guard root
end

This is the INterface config on the AP

interface FastEthernet0
 no ip address
 no ip route-cache
 speed 100
 full-duplex
 bridge-group 1
 no bridge-group 1 source-learning
 bridge-group 1 spanning-disabled
end

Is the IP statically assigned? If DHCP, what is the lease period? Sounds like the AP is unable to renew it's lease. Just a guess though.

Preseume this an autonomous AP deployment as opposed to controller based?

Have you checked the log of the AP?
