Access Point - Radio interfaces admin'd down by default

karkera.rinat · ‎02-25-2016

Hello,

This is regarding Access point integration with WLC 5508.

Post downloading the software image from WLC Access points will be configured as per the production environment; however we are observing that the Access points (1620i) by default are having the radio interfaces Admin'd down.

The current software version that we are using on the WLC is: 8.0.121.0.

Regards,

Rinat S K

Fill in the details. There is nothing "private" or "confidential" about this.

Besides making sure that the the regulatory domain settings match, also check if the "out-of-box" feature is enabled under the "RF Profiles" configuration which can be found under the "Wireless" tab of the WLC.

Hello Freerk,

Radio is disabled because PRoC (country code of "CN") is not compatible with European Regulatory Domain. Disable "China" (and maybe a reboot of the controller) and the radio will work.
