Very Odd behavior with the LED Status

  • 1.  Very Odd behavior with the LED Status

    Posted Apr 13, 2017 05:17 AM

    Hello, 

     

    I'm writing you because I'm starting to loose my latin about this behavior...

     

    I've got a controller with a bunch of AP 105, 114 and 275...

     

    The normal LED status ( in my case ) all the led are green :)

     

    Since I've removed one unused SSID ( not set with the n), le BGN led is now "amber" which means that the "n" is not enabled....

     

    I've checked on the controller and I can see clients associate with "n" and under the "High Throughput SSID profile" the High throughput is enabled...

     

     

    Who I need to trust ? the AP or the controller?

     

    thanks in advance

    The LED on all the access points is Amber?  Do you know if it is the power LED, the ethernet LED or the WLAN LED(s)?

    Hello Joseph, 

     

    i' hope your fine !

     

    all LED are green, except the 2.4 BGN is now amber since i've removed an old SSID.

     

    the odd things is that i can see clients with " n20mhz" 

     

    why ...

    Did you add an SSID?  You should look at the output of "show ap essid" on the commandline of the controller to see if you might have added an SSID" that is WEP, or just WPA.

    no, just remove an old one.

     

    below the results : 

     

    ESSID APs Clients VLAN(s) Encryption
    ----- --- ------- ------- ----------
    employe 122 20 40 WPA2 PSK AES
    Guest 107 6 50 WPA2 PSK AES
    VoIP 122 58 30 WPA2 PSK AES
    Num ESSID:3

    What kind of SSID did you remove?

    I would type "show audit-trail" and go through it line by line to ensure that you did not remove "HT" somewhere in your configuration by accident.

    I don't see anything that would cause the LED to be orange in there.  You might have to open a case to get to the bottom of this...

    Thanks Joseph for you analyze

     

    he couldn't be a mix that the HT settings are different between the SSID ?

    Or nothing related to the MIMO ?

    It would seem that the VOIP SSID has a no High Throughput Parameter:

     

    wlan ht-ssid-profile "HT-VoIP"
    no 40MHz-enable
    no very-high-throughput-enable

     

    wlan ssid-profile "SSID-VoIP"
    ..

    ..


    ht-ssid-profile "HT-VoIP"

    no very-high-throughput-enable = No AC enable right ? or no AC and N ?

     

    As attached, i can see clients with radio PHY et client PHY with N 20mhz

     

    normal ?

    HT is 802.11n.  Why is "No HT" in that config?  That would fix your issue.



  • 15.  RE: Very Odd behavior with the LED Status

    Posted Apr 13, 2017 07:35 AM

    it means that if a enable : very-high-throughput-enable it will bring the led light back to green ?

     

    why i'm able to see clients with "n 20mhz" ?

     

    what does it means ?

    I am not sure why it would say HT, but the no high throughout is what would be causing your issue.

    I am not sure that is what your config says.  Is it possible that you didn't do a "write mem" or save configuration on the master controller?

    Hello, 

     

    i did...

     

    Now all the led are green except the A/N which is amber...

     

    very odd...

    You might want to open a TAC case in parallel so that they can look over your entire configuration.  There could be something there that is enabled or it could be a bug..
