Chapter 7 Controlling Lightweight Access Points
Configuring Flashing LEDs
Using the CLI to Configure Power over Ethernet
Use these commands to configure PoE using the controller CLI.
1. config ap power injector enable ap installed
This command is recommended if your network contains any older Cisco 6-Watt switches that could
be accidentally overloaded if connected directly to a 12-Watt access point. The access point
remembers that a power injector is connected to this particular switch port. If you relocate the access
point, you must reissue this command after the presence of a new power injector is verified.
Note Make sure CDP is enabled before issuing this command. Otherwise, this command will fail.
See the previous section for information on enabling CDP.
2. config ap power injector enable ap override
This command removes the safety checks and allows the access point to be connected to any switch
port. It is acceptable to use this command if your network does not contain any older Cisco 6-Watt
switches that could be overloaded if connected directly to a 12-Watt access point. The access point
assumes that a power injector is always connected. If you relocate the access point, it continues to
assume that a power injector is present.
Configuring Flashing LEDs
Controller software release 4.0 or later enables you to flash the LEDs on an access point in order to locate
it. All IOS lightweight access points support this feature.
Use these commands to configure LED flashing from the Privileged Exec mode of the controller.
Note The output of these commands is sent only to the controller console, regardless of whether the commands
were issued on the console or in a TELNET/SSH CLI session.
1. To enable the controller to send commands to the access point from its CLI, enter this command:
debug ap enable Cisco_AP
2. To cause a specific access point to flash its LEDs for a specified number of seconds, enter this
command:
debug ap command “led flash seconds” Cisco_AP
You can enter a value between 1 and 3600 seconds for the seconds parameter.
3. To disable LED flashing for a specific access point, enter this command:
debug ap command “led flash disable” Cisco_AP
This command disables LED flashing immediately. For example, if you run the previous command
(with the seconds parameter set to 60 seconds) and then disable LED flashing after only 20 seconds,
the access point’s LEDs stop flashing immediately.
