    On the AP there are four LED

     

    1 Power                  Solid Green

    2 Ethernet              Solid Green

    3 11/abg                 Solid Green

    411/an                    Off

     

    After Sometime 2to 3mins Solid green of 11/abg swaps to the 11/an. now 11/an solid green and 11/abg in off. process repeats after same time.

     

    what is the problem ?

     

    Kindly help me in this regard

    If this is a controller manage AP make sure that HT is enabled under the ssid profile
    If it is an IAP make sure that in the rf settings > radio the support only legacy devices is not enabled

    It is a controller manageable AP's.

     

    My question Is the LED's 11/A/N is swapping to 11/B/GN due to AM mode ? because some AP's are on AM mode.

     

    Down AP's are administratively down.

    Hi,

     

    Try to disable the DFS channels (and also the VHT configurtion)

     

    Read here: (jgoff - Thank u)

     

    if you have to use DFS/are in a DFS only location then I would recommend that you monitor the ARM history (or the logs) and there are APs having problems on say 56- then you can consider a couple of courses of action:

     

    >> anything interesting about the location of the APs ? I have a customer that has an office located near a commerical waterway, all the APs along the window side of the building towards the waterway will trip radar on the 52-64 range of channels. Hence, i created a new reg domain profile for those edge APs and made them unable to use DFS.

     

    >> if just one AP, consider forcing it to another channel as a workaround

     

    >> if many/all APs, maybe have to remove the channel pair all together from the allowed 40Mhz chanells

     

    If you really have a radar issue then you may also find that ARM sees that channel as more attractive due to fewer APs on it, so it does frequently put the AP back to the channel, so some sort of action should be taken per above

    Let me know if its helped u.

     

    have a great weekend,

     

    Me.

    Are those access points similar to any of your other access points, or are they different?  If so, how are they different?  Are they in a different AP group, etc?

    Those AP's are on the Air monitoring mode. Might be LED are swapping due to AP are in the AM mode.
