Cisco Aironet 3502i AP has no light

denz_cruel — Sun, 04 Jul 2021 06:10:47 GMT

Hi All,

I just configured Aironet 3502i and it works ok but no lights. I could see the AP in switch, in WLC, and in WCS and ping ok but when you see it mounted it has no light. I tried to shutdown the port in the switch and I saw it turns green (booting), once it was registered in WLC the light will be off.

Currently I have 4 AP's with same issue that has no light but working. Any tip for this?

What does "show ap led-state " on the WLC show? (If your WLC firmware version supports that command).

Hi Matthew,

No "show ap led-state " command in the WLC(AIR-CT5508-K9).

Shame, there is at least on version 7.3 on our 5508s.

Could also try "show capwap client config" on the AP. At least on the firmware we're running there's a "Led State Enabled" line in the output with the current LED state.

Wireless>> Access Points>> Global Configuration>> General>> Check LED state to enable.

If above is already enabled then try the below option.

Wireless>> Access Points>> All APs>> select an AP>> Goto advanced tab>> check 'LED state to enable'. Do this on all AP.

Had the same issue here, the last few APs installed (Aironet 1041N and 1042N models) left their lights off once they joined the controller. The show command didn't work but the config command did the trick perfectly, with the WLC responding that it had "Successfully set LED-State for AP" for the last nine that I installed.

For reference, WLCs are running 7.0.235.0.

Thanks for the solution!
