Troubleshoot the Unified Deployment Model

Lightweight access points also have LEDs that give information about the Ethernet/radio and operation status based on color code. Additional troubleshooting has to be done using the debug and show commands, depending on the problem. Because the unified deployment is a centralized system, most debugging needs to be done on the WLC and only partially on the LAPs.

The show run-config command output from the WLC CLI is a must to have a snapshot of the running configuration and the RF status of the APs registered to a specific WLC at the time the output is collected. This output can be easily analyzed using the WLC Configuration Analyzer (WLCCA) tool that is especially useful when you need to consolidate the show run-config output from multiple WLCs.
