How to configure 2.4 and 5GHz configure by CLI in AP

Faizi — Sat, 11 Nov 2023 06:48:10 GMT

We have these Cisco access points. When the firmware was an older version, I configured the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands both in one SSID through the GUI. Now that I have updated the firmware to a new version, I want to configure the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands both in one SSID through the CLI. Please assist me with this issue.

This model AP: AIR-CAP3702l-A-K9

- What particular command are you looking for ? Note that by default both bands are enabled ,

Thank you for your reply but,

I didn't know if I needed to configure both 2.4GHz and 5GHz or if they were by default configured under one SSID.

If you can give me your Telegram or WhatsApp I will be happy.

- They are configured by default, in general you will only want to configure WLAN parameters for the particular SSID and the GUI is best for that ,

That configuration is right or wrong?

The link Marce has given you is for 9800 series WLCs running IOS-XE.
You are referring to an old IOS AP running autonomous IOS.
The config guide with examples (which I'm sure I provided on one of your many previous posts @Faizi ) is at https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/access_point/15-3-3/configuration/guide/cg15-3-3/cg15-3-3-chap4-first.html
If you search for "cisco autonomous ap configuration cli" you'll find plenty of other examples, blogs and videos.

This piece of config would do the trick (you need to create a radio and ethereent subinterface to map every SSID you create):

Thanks for your help.

I can configure all 70 APs like this, and no problems will arise. Additionally, I can set it up on the gateway. We have installed Mikrotik routers on all access points connected with Mikrotik router and we don't have WLC
