AP801 admin status is disable automatically after router reload

Wen Yu Zhai
Level 1
Level 1

We've got cisco 887VGW with wireless AP801GN and registering to the controller 7510, 

ap801 admin status is disable automatically after router reload.

Is there any opportunity to fix it?

Ok, here's the deal.  Your AP has a regulatory domain of "-A".

Configured Country............................... Multiple Countries:CN,HK,TH,US

Next, your WLC is configured with CONFLICTING Regulatory Domain. 

The behaviour of your AP is NORMAL.  This is because in some countries, 802.11b rules are not the same with other countries.  In your case, US 802.11b rules and channels are not the same as CN/HK therefore it is disabled.

So when you have multiple country codes enabled and these country codes or regulatory domain are in conflict with each other, what happens is only the COMMON channels, radios and frequencies are allowed.  In  your particular case, only 802.1a radio is enabled while 802.11b is disabled.

You have two solutions to take back to your boss:

1.  Get another WLC and group your AP based on the Regulatory Domain. 

2.  Configure US, which is having a problem, as autonomous IOS.

Kindly refer to Wireless LAN Compliance Status.

There's got to be a reason why the admin status is "disabled".  Can you post the "sh logs" from the AP?

There is a 'shutdown' command in dot11radio0. It can resume nomral when we enable admin status in wlc. But the problem still exists after reload the router.

Btw, AP802 is working fine.

interface Dot11Radio0

no ip route-cache

shutdown

no cdp enable

Ok, so you got a WLC.

Go to the WLC, choose the AP in the list and make sure the AP is not "Disabled".

Yes, the ap is enable in wlc. I have save this configuration. But it will change to disable automatically after 887 router reload.

These two solutions were not accepted by our boss. Can we solve this problem by adjusting the country code in wlc?

LOL.  NOT possible.

You've got four conflicting Regulatory Domain.  There is no possible way other than the options I've provided.

You are not the first person to have this problem and you won't be the last. 

I am going to just configure US for test tonight. Thank you very much!

Dear Leo,

I am confused, It means the WLC can not support different Regulatory domain at the same time ?

Can the WLC setup different Regulator domain base on individual AP ?

Yes and no.  The WLC will allow you to enable multiple country codes.  But COMMON SENSE dictates that if there are two (or more) conflicting channels (as an example), what's the middle line?  So the middle line is to disable the conflicting channels and enabling the COMMON CHANNELS allowed.

Can the WLC setup different Regulator domain base on individual AP ?

Yes and no.  Your WLC has four country codes:  CN, HK, US, TH.  If, say, you only enable CN, this means AP with CN Regulatory Domain will join the controller while the other three won't.

Dear Leo,

Yes, if just select CN, the other AP without CN can not join the controller.

I mean if enable the the four country codes, and appoint corresponding country code in different AP such as below:

to let the AP own the right country code to resolve this porblem ?

So, the problem is, is there a country code that compatible with CN/HK and also support -A Regulatory domain ?
