AP showing down status in WLC

[vishalpatil86]

hi,

I have cisco wlc 4404 and access point 1242AG A-K9

when I try to connect ap to WLC, it is showing me down status

when i take hyperterm of AP, one of the radio interface status showing me as administratively down.

[vishalpatil86]

yes, it does work, but when i reload, it again goes down

Enable the radio, save the config and reload it. And paste the output "more flash:event.log" from AP

Thanks

The log says

*Feb 4 09:52:11.421: %CAPWAP-5-CHANGED: CAPWAP changed state to JOIN

*Feb 4 09:52:11.583: %CAPWAP-5-CHANGED: CAPWAP changed state to CFG

*Feb 4 09:52:11.688: %CAPWAP-5-CHANGED: CAPWAP changed state to UP

*Feb 4 09:52:11.688: %LINK-5-CHANGED: Interface Dot11Radio1, changed state to administratively down

Which is happening after the AP has joined the WLC, this can primarly becoz the WLC in India domain doesnt support A radio. But it is little surprising that you say there is already an AP with a radio up

Please send the detail of that AP also

Thanks

interface Dot11Radio1

Radio AIR-AP1242A, Base Address 0024.c352.bac0, BBlock version 0.00, Software version 6.30.33

Serial number: ALP13041YP2

Number of supported simultaneous BSSID on Dot11Radio1: 16

This is from your joined AP, while not joined AP have the below output

interface Dot11Radio1

Radio AIR-AP1242A, Base Address 003a.9a0d.d660, BBlock version 0.00, Software version 6.30.33

Serial number: ALP153666CP

Number of supported simultaneous BSSID on Dot11Radio1: 16

Carrier Set: Americas (OFDM) (US) (-A)

I didn't get this... where exactly is problem??

[nikhilcherian]

That is the only difference that could be figured out from your AP, the joined AP is in N domain while the not joined AP is in the A domain. This may be affecting your AP a domain

You would need to enable US in the country list on the WLC.

[nikhilcherian]

Check out if it legal to use the 802.11a radio in your location

Thanks

Doesn't really matter.  the WLC will only use common channels and power.
