This article will describe LED status codes during startup on a Cisco Business Wireless (CBW) network.
Once you have your Cisco Business Wireless network set up and running, a blinking green LED indicates that an access point is ready to receive clients. A solid green LED indicates that at least one client is attached. But what about when the AP is booting up?
Bootup LED codes are a little more complex. Subtle distinctions can mean different things. Keep reading to find out what you might see and what the codes mean.
LED state | Actions |
---|---|
Solid Red | Powering up. |
Blinking Green (fast) | Initial startup; booting kernel. |
Solid Green | Continuing startup: loading software. |
Blinking Green (slow/even) | Loading drivers and services. |
Cycling Colors (Red/Amber/Green) | Successfully started services; stopping services that are no longer needed. |
Blinking Red | Starting CAPWAP process; initializing radios; IP address assignment (note that IP address assignment is the last thing to happen in this stage; if it fails, the AP gets stuck in the blinking red stage). |
Cycling Colors (Red/Amber/Green) | CAPWAP process (AP joining Management) |
Blinking Green (slow/flash) | Finishing startup; ready to receive clients. |
That’s it. You now have a better understanding of the LED status codes you might see at bootup.
