Caveats
Resolved Caveats
The following caveats are resolved in 4.2.176.51M.
•
CSCsk68719–On the controller GUI, when you changed and applied data rates on a mesh access
point radio you were prompted with a window that warned you of a pending reboot. When using the
CLI, no reboot was necessary and no reboot prompt appeared. Workaround was to use the CLI to
change the data rates to avoid the reboot.

•
CSCsl15370–Mesh access points were unable to associate with controllers whose names were of
varying string lengths. The workaround was to have the same name length for the primary,
secondary, and tertiary controllers.

secondary, and tertiary controllers.
•
CSCsl40587–Channel 192 could not be set on a 1510.
•
CSCsl90654–When background scanning was enabled, sometimes RAPs would get into a state in
which they could not transmit, and network would not be able to communicate. This occurred only
in large networks.
which they could not transmit, and network would not be able to communicate. This occurred only
in large networks.
•
CSCsl91623–The 1510 was not properly advertising its SSID. There was confusion as to which
radio (802.11a or 802.11b/g) it was transmitted on.
radio (802.11a or 802.11b/g) it was transmitted on.

CSCsl91679–A reboot of mesh access points was often required to reset adjacency counters or the
adjacency. Changes were added to the code

•
CSCsm25938–The 1510 could not be deployed in South Africa (country code-ZA). The 802.11a
radio was in a disabled state.

•
CSCsm62772–A controller running 4.1.190.5 or 4.1.191.24M software might crash unexpectedly
due to an SNMPTask.
due to an SNMPTask.
•
CSCsm73147– When a configured country code did not support the 5-GHz band (802.11a), an UP
condition for both the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz radio of a 1510 mistakenly displayed. As an unsupported
band, no data should display for the 5-GHz band and MAPs could not join the RAP via that band.

•
CSCso17430–In some cases, mesh networks with workgroup bridges (WGB) connections might
experience lower throughput. This lower throughput is mostly seen when a series 1300 access point
is configured as the WGB and its first connection within the mesh network is a 1510 mesh access
point.

point.
•
CSCso28047–In release 04.1.191.24M, a controller might display the following message when
polled by SNMP (generally Cisco WCS) instead of generating an error message for each access
point every five minutes:

point every five minutes:
/tmp/gate/lvl7dev/src/mgmt/snmp/snmp_sr/src/snmpd/unix/k_mib_cisco_lwapp_ap.c:144
SNMP-4-MSGTAG008: Failed to get cLLwappJoinTakenTime for AP XX:XX:XX:XX:XX, API return
code: 1.
XX:XX:XX:XX:XX would be the mac address of each AP.
The problem was not service affecting and could be ignored.
•
CSCsq15736–All 1510s were advertising an incorrect transmit power (through their dynamic
transmit power control (DTPC) information element (IE) beacons) to clients. (Clients use this
information to automatically adjust their transmit power to the same level as the access point). This
caused the client to set their power too low. Software was modified to report the correct transmit
power of the access point in the DTPC IE beacon.

was unreachable, a crash on the emWebtask occurred. No crash file was generated.
