Wireless Access

How do you make the AP's actually broadcast the SSID you've created?  My AP is up and provisioned and my SSID has been created but the radio LED's on the AP are amber.  I've tried configuring AP specific options for radio profiles in "AP Configuration", but I don't see any change.

 

 

Is this an IAP or a campus AP ?

Its actually an IAP I converted to campus.

You already have an AP-Group , when you created the Virtual-AP (Assign a valid AP) and SSID-Profile did you added to the AP-Group?

 

is the AP part of that AP-Group ?

 

 

Also is the Virtual AP / SSID Profile enabled ?

The AP is just in the default AP group.  And yes, according the advanced tab on the virtual ap - SSID page, the box is checked for "Enabled"

Can you run the following command :
show ap essid

Also is the SSID hidden by any chance ?

What type of authentication are you using ?

if you have a master-local setup make sure you save the config so it can get pushed to the local

I only have the one controller, its current mode is Master.

Found a command that might be useful, sh ap database long - it shows my one and only AP as having the " I " flag set as being inactive.  Its up, but inactive according to this, not sure if this helps.

My my thats quite a list there.  In the mean time I have changed my setup to a tunneled wlan, and the access point is working fine, but I would still like to have a functioning bridged (locally switched) setup as well.

Since this was my first go round with the equipment I decided to just use the wizard to create this first WLAN.  In step 3 it asks if you want to broadcast this SSID and I've set that to "Yes". 

 

Its set to a basic WPA2 encryption with psk.  I've set it so its bridged (locally switched) and set the proper vlan tag for it.  But nothing is being broadcast.
