Interface shows wrong value for transmit Power

[systemscsn]

hi,

I've been going through all of our AP650(ah) AP's and lowering the transmission power on with wifi0 and wifi1 interfaces.

I have set a the power to 10 on both interfaces for 10 AP's in a two floor building.  While the XIQ shows that 8 of the 10 AP's are showing the correct Transmission power, i have 2 AP's that are showing as Auto on wifi0, but the correct 10db on wifi1....

If i go into configuration at the device level, wifi0 is set to manual and 10db.

Which should i believe the XIQ interface, or what the device config shows?

Any ideas why this is going on?

thanks,
J.

That didnt work!!! what the heck!?

I selected the two AP's (AP650ah's), and selected ACTIONS >> Revert device to template defaults, and when all had completed i went in, and changed both wifi0 and wifi1 transmission power to 10db on both AP's, and did a Complete Configuration Update.

When the AP's came back up, they had the correct Transmit power on wifi1, but wifi0 is still showing "Auto".  I thought maybe XIQ needed to catch up to the AP, btu its been 3 hours and wifi0 is still showing "Auto"....

What the heck.....?

I really, REALLY do not want to have to set them back to factory settings and start from scratch, i really dont want to do that. 

Any ideas why wifi0 is not taking the manual change on two AP's?

thanks,
Jason.

It will be interesting to see if that works.  I have about 5000 ap650s soon to be over 6000 and none are reporting auto for the transmission power.  I let the access points use ACSP to set their transmission power.  I set 20 as the max and 2 as the floor.  I agree with sam and would trust the command line.

Nope, a Complete config push didnt change it... its still showing as Auto... so now i have to do the thing i hate most with these, and thats to default to template defaults.... ugh and sigh.....

Well Rebooting the AP didn't make any difference.  Next thing to try is a Complete Config Update and see if that works.  Of course, if that doesn't work, i have to do something that i REALLY don't like to do, and that's take it back to Template Defaults, which means all the tweaks ive done to an AP (this one as well), ill have to re-do......  ill post back when i try the complete (have to do it when no one is on the AP.... so, could be a while).  Thanks, J.

Thanks Sam for getting back to me.

I left it for the whole weekend,  thinking the same thing, that its just laggy for the AP to report back to the hive with the change, however this morning, its till showing those two AP's as Auto.

As soon as I dont have any client devices ont hem, il do a complete config push and see what happens.  May take some time though, being a school, always something on an AP... but if that doesn't happen today, ill do it as soon as I get in tomorrow morning and will let you know how it goes.

thanks,
