Cisco 5508 – Troubleshooting Repeated AP Dissociation

I have a pair of Cisco 5508 controllers with close to 50 APs shared between the two. After some maintainence – changing from (the unsupported) LACP to LAG for the port-channel I have repeated issues with WAPs rejoining controllers.

The first section shows the console output from an AP that performs the re-join.
The second section shows the disparity between the AP up time and the Association up time.
