We are also running 8.5.160.4 and this has resolved a few issues with radios hung and not serving clients. No complaints so far since going to it from 8.5.160.0. The issue we had was the radios were stuck in down state on Flexconnect AP’s until AP was rebooted.

Will, Sounds a little like this bug- CSCvn80477, only the bug mentions an older 8.5 release and on APs in static mode. I am currently running an escalation build of 8.5 (8.5.160.4) and have not yet seen this behavior.

(Sometimes they are all set to 36, sometimes it’s 149.) Our 8540 WLC is at release 8.5.160.0. It's as easy workaround to change the Radio Role Assignment to Manual/(Client Serving) and then decide what band (2.4Ghz/5Ghz) is more appropriate. After doing so, the controller usually makes better channel assignment decisions. In some cases, one may want to make this judgement call (to do a Manual role assignment), based on design factors such as “we already have enough 2.4Ghz radios in this space.” However, the use of the Auto Assignment role (letting the controller do the “driving”, with FRA – Flexible Radio Assignment), may also be desirable. -- Will Dawes Wireless Network Engineer Louisiana State University ********** Replies to EDUCAUSE Community Group emails are sent to the entire community list.
