9800 wlc how to turn off the wireless signal of a specified AP

[id404]

As the AP deployment is relatively dense, some of the wireless signal overlap serious, intends to turn off the wireless RF signal of one or two of the AP, please ask how to operate?

In enable mode: 

ap name <AP_NAME> shutdown

Hi

 If you want to disable a specific radio on the AP but not the whole AP, use this:

ap name YOUR_AP_NAME dot11 24ghz shutdown

If you like to do it via GUI, you can easily navigate "Configuration -> Wireless -> Access Points -> "select AP under 5GHz or 2.4GHz radis" -> Disable admin status"

Hi Rasika. Do you know if we can do this via CLI?

[Leo Laohoo]

There are many ways to do this: 

1.  Admin disable the AP

2.  Turn off the radios individually

3.  Put the AP in an Policy Tag with zero SSID

All can be done using CLI or GUI.

Thanks. I saw this before but tried from configuration mode... Worked in exec mode!
