Whether mssid guest mode and guest mode have some difference？i have another ap2702 with the same config，but it dont have the issue.

Not sure about this, but please try the mbssid command.
What confuses me though, is this line:
Input queue: 0/42878/0/0 (size/max/drops/flushes); Total output drops: 8034
I haven't had an autonomous AP in hand for some years, but I find this very weird.

Thanks for your help, I will try this command next Monday. I also noticed those drop messages, too strange.

I have resolved the issue，its a bug that need we set ap’s bvi ip same to client network

Good to hear your issuge get resolved.

Do you have any bug information for others reference

Hi Rasika； In fact, the SSID cannot broadcast just a wrong judgment of the partner. When I logged in to the AP CLI, I found that the ssid is normal. The root cause is that the client cannot reach any address after the restart of the AP, including the gateway. I cannot remember the bug id, but this bug The symptoms and conditions are that the client cannot ping the gateway and the problem occurs after the ap reboot. The solution is to configure the ap bvi address to be on the same network segment as the client network.

Configuring Aironet Access Point with WPAv2 Authentication in GUI :
1. In Easy Setup
Under Network Configuration
Edit AP hostname, Static IP, Subnet mask and Default Gateway
Under In Radio Configuration
Create SSID name WLAN_New under Radio 2.4GHz and select Broadcast SSID in Beacon
2. Apply Encryption Modes to AES CCMP
3. Enable WPAv2 and apply WPA Pre-shared Key: to SSID
4. Enable Wireless Radio Interface (Radio0-802.11N2.4GHz/ Radio1-802.11N5GHz) UP
5. Save the configuration
6. Finally check the SSID Wi-Fi connection, Security Key, IP address and browsing through internet

============ For 2.4 GHz Radio Interface ============

Step 1: Access Cisco AP|Reset AP| Assign static IP for BVI1 Interface |Default-gateway IP
ap>enable
Password: Cisco [Cisco AP default Password]
## Reset the Access Point with pressing and holding mode button ##
ap#configure terminal
ap(config)#interface bvI 1
ap(config-if)#ip address 192.168.2.4 255.255.255.0 [According to my network setup]
ap(config-if)#exit
ap(config)#ip default-gateway 192.168.2.1 [According to my network setup]

Step 2: Creating SSID | Authentication | Applying WPAv2 Authentication

ap(config)#dot11 ssid Cisco_WLAN [ Create SSID named Cisco_WLAN]
ap(config-ssid)#guest-mode [Broadcast SSID]
ap(config-ssid)#authentication open [allows any device to authenticate]
ap(config-ssid)#authentication key-management wpa version 2 [Applying WPAv2 Authentication]
ap(config-ssid)#wpa-psk ascii Cisco123 [Applying WPA Shared Key ]
ap(config-ssid)#exit

Step 3: Enable Encryption to 4.2GHz Radio interface | Apply SSID to interface| Enable Radio Interface

ap(config)#interface dot11Radio 0 [Selecting 4.2 GHz Radio interface]
ap(config-if)#encryption mode ciphers aes-ccm [Enabling CIPHER AES-CCM Encryption to interface]
ap(config-if)#ssid Cisco_WLAN [Applying SSID to Radio interface]
ap(config-if)#channel least-congested [Selecting Channel type]
ap(config-if)#no shutdown [Finally Enabling the 4.2 GHz Radio Interface]
ap(config-if)#exit
ap(config)#exit
================ For 5 GHz Radio Interface =======================

Step 2: Creating SSID | Authentication | Applying WPAv2 Authentication

ap(config)#dot11 ssid Cisco_WLAN 5GHz [ Create SSID named Cisco_WLAN 5GHz ]
ap(config-ssid)#guest-mode [Broadcast SSID]
ap(config-ssid)#authentication open [allows any device to authenticate]
ap(config-ssid)#authentication key-management wpa version 2 [Applying WPAv2 Authentication]
ap(config-ssid)#wpa-psk ascii Cisco123 [Applying WPA Shared Key ]
ap(config-ssid)#exit

Step 3: Enable Encryption to 5 GHz Radio interface | Apply SSID to interface| Enable Radio Interface

ap(config)#interface dot11Radio 1 [Selecting 5 GHz Radio interface]
ap(config-if)#encryption mode ciphers aes-ccm [Enabling CIPHER AES-CCM Encryption to interface]
ap(config-if)#ssid Cisco_WLAN 5GHz [Applying SSID to Radio interface]
ap(config-if)# channel 36 [Selecting Channel type]
ap(config-if)#no shutdown [Finally Enabling the 5 GHz Radio Interface]
ap(config-if)#exit
ap(config)#exit
