Hi all, would really appreciate some help and guidance. have x5 CBW240-AC which I am trying to configure to broadcast a single SSID across a large area. I am not using mesh extenders and they will all be wired back to the core switch.
I have configured the first AP (using the webUI) and added all MAC addresses of the remaining AP's into the WLAN users list. I can successfully connect to the SSID and browse the internet with no problems through this AP.
When I boot any of the other 4 AP's they simply cycle on Red, Amber, Green (I've left them overnight and its the same in the morning. From the Cisco documentation it would suggest I simply boot all the other AP's, they pick up the config and decide on a primary AP on their own, but they never complete a boot cycle so are not visible in any UI. I see no SSID's which would suggest they are even broadcasting the initial 'setup' WIFI network. However, if I power off the configured AP, the remaining AP's will boot.
All are on the same subnet, I can see DHCP addresses being assigned.
All are on 10.6.x.x firmware and connected to a single switch delivering POE to all devices.
Mgmt network is set to a static IP, AP's are currently DHCP
Q1 - What am I doing wrong?
Q2 - If I configured them all individually (with identical config) and then booted them all, would they join and be visible in the managment UI?
Many thanks in advance.
