Symptom
1. BSS Color Disabled field in the AP 9130's beacons and probe responses incorrectly remains True after BSS color is enabled during the CAC (channel availability check) when AP radio is on a 5GHz DFS channel.
2. BSS Color field in AP 9130's beacons and probe responses is 0 when AP boots up with BSS color disabled (BSS color should be 1).
3. If BSS color is enabled with a certain color value, then disabled, then re-enabled to the same color value, the BSS Color Disabled field in the AP 9130's beacons and probe responses incorrectly remains true.
Conditions
1.
a) BSS color is disabled globally on 5 GHz band from WLC with AP 9130 radio up
b) Bring 5 GHz network down from WLC
c) Enable BSS color globally on 5 GHz band from WLC
d) Bring 5 GHz network up from WLC
e) 5 GHz AP radio on DFS channel incorrectly still shows as BSS color disabled in beacons/probe responses after CAC is over
2.
a) Disable BSS color globally on band or on specific AP 9130 radio
b) Reboot AP
c) BSS Color field in AP 9130's beacons and probe responses is incorrectly 0 after boot up
3.
a) Enable BSS color on AP 9130 radio with a certain color value
b) Disable BSS color on AP radio
c) Enable BSS color on AP radio to the same color value as in step a
d) The BSS Color Disabled field in the AP 9130's beacons and probe responses incorrectly remains true
Workaround
1. Manually disable and re-enable BSS color on the specific AP 9130 radio (not using global 5 GHz band config) from the WLC after the CAC period is over, without bringing the radio down.
2. Manually enable and re-disable BSS color from the WLC after the AP 9130 boots up.
Further Problem Description
Correct BSS color config from the WLC is reflected in the AP's "show capwap client config" command but the issues are seen in the packet capture.
