Hi all,

with the newer Wifi 6 APs (305C,410C,510C) i would like to know if i can check with a CLI command the reason why an AP status led is blinking. I know they do that if there is a PoE issue but I had cases were they stopped blinking after i placed them on the map and send a Delta update.

My question: Can i check by command what the status of the LED light is (stable/blinking and the reason why)?

Best,

Andi

Hello Andi,

Please try cli command: #show system led

Example:

AP305C-Internal-Mesh#show system led
Brightness configuration:       bright

System LED status:
No  Led       Colour                        Blinking
---------------------------------------------------------
1   Power     Off                           No blinking
2   Status    White                         No blinking

You can refer to the AP manual for details on LED status for example:

The following is an excerpt from the AP305C/AP305CX manual:

White, Steady : The device has a CAPWAP connection to ExtremeCloud IQ and is operating normally.
White, Slow-blinking: The device has a CAPWAP connection to ExtremeCloud IQ, but is operating on 802.3af power instead of 802.3at power.
Amber, Steady: The device is initializing, rebooting, or is running without a CAPWAP connection.
Amber, Slow-blinking: The device has no CAPWAP connection to ExtremeCloud IQ, and is operating 802.3af power instead of 802.3at power.
Amber, Fast-blinking: The device is upgrading its IQ Engine firmware.
Dark: Power is off.

Thank you,

Christoph S.

Any reason an AP410C-1 would blink red? White, then amber, then red, then dark.
