6502i with 5508WLC Dual-Band question

Mat Barry — Sun, 04 Jul 2021 06:18:11 GMT

I recently purchased a few 6502i APs and have them connected to our 5508 WLC. I have all of the bands available, WMM, and all the MCS rates supported. For some reason, I'm not seeing the new APs listed under "Dual-Band Radios". Is there something I'm missing?

And your WLAN is configured to be either Open, or WPA2/AES only?

Aaaaand totally misread this....

What country code are you using, and what type of 3502i? meaning 3502-?- A,E, etc.

I'm using 'A' code.

Stephen Rodriguez — Mon, 07 Jan 2013 18:19:54 GMT

ok, so these are 3502i-A-k9. What country code are you set for on the WLC? US, MX etc? and do you have more than one?

HTH,
Steve

I'm using Only US.

Do I need to use USX?

6502i with 5508WLC Dual-Band question

Stephen Rodriguez — Mon, 07 Jan 2013 18:32:12 GMT

no, -A is for US. Are you sure they are 3502 and not 3501? Where are you looking at the "Dual-Band" AP ?

Steve

Wow.. I really wrote that wrong. Was configuring a 6500 switch while typing. They're 3602i and 3602e. I'm sorry about that.

I'm looking at the "dual-band radios" section under Monitor>Access Point Summary.

Stephen Rodriguez — Mon, 07 Jan 2013 18:40:35 GMT

Ha! no worries. Ok, so 3602i/e, running at least 7.2 (possibly 7.1....) to support them.

What version of code are you running specificaly? And still, were are you seeing the Dual-Band thing.

Is it that you are not seeing the A radio in the list?

HTH,
Steve

I"m running 7.4.100.0.

Under Monitor>radios>Dual-Band Radios, as well.

They show up under a/n and b/g/n, but obviously not under "dual-band" as one would expect.

For some reason, I'm not seeing the new APs listed under "Dual-Band Radios"

I've got some 3600 and they don't show up either. It's a bug.

We're contemplating of rolling back to 7.3.X.

Is this an actual technical problem or more of a managment annoyance?

My orginization has 50 controllers to upgrade and we are considering this code version.

Wait a minute... first off, you do mean the 3602i right? Well the Dual-Band Radios is only if your 3602 has the AC module, that module would show up there.

Thanks,

Here is an AC module on a 3602i

Oh. So it's not a bug. The "Dual Radios" is counting the 802.11ac module.

Michael: We found some funny stuff. Still investigating. Nothing dramatic. Just doesn't sit well with us.

Is that wave module even available yet? It seems somewhat deceiving, considering everything else says it's Dual-Band based a/g/n. Seems as if Wave1 would be described as Wave1 or "ac" when sorting, rather than "dual-band", considering "dual-band" standards aren't currently described as AC.

Re: 6502i with 5508WLC Dual-Band question

Scott Fella — Mon, 14 Jan 2013 15:04:27 GMT

It's not available yet but it's referencing access point with the AC module added. It wouldn't make sense that it would reference the total number of AP's because you already can see that.

I was just concerned that the "dual-band" APs that I purchased would perform at current "dual-band" standards. I'm guessing they already run that way OOB as far as a/g/n goes, but I didn't think they would label something that's not fully released under a vague name. Thanks for the help. I was alarmed that the switches I had weren't running as what I thought was "dual-band".
