Hi Phil- Yes, that's right. The whole WLAN override thing is a pet peeve for me. To add a new SSID to just a few APs, you have to add it to all APS on a controller then use WLAN override and a disruptive device reboot to get it off of all of the APs you don't want it on. That goofy approach aside, we are seeing that often you need to reboot APs again as they sometimes stop transmitting all WLANs they are supposed to even though the ones you want are in the WLAN override list- and usually a reboot does make them behave. Worse yet, we are also seeing where SSIDs are randomly dropping off of the WLAN override list- it usually starts with a complaint of no or weak signal for a given network in a given location, and when start looking in the system you find that the AP is up and things appear fine in config, it's just that nothing is being transmitted. Or only some of the SSIDs are being transmitted despite all being in the list. Or... SSIDs that were in the list have mysteriously dropped off of the list. -Lee Lee H.

Cisco say this anyway.

It seems as the settings are just not being saved. In the beginning we thought it might have been an issue with WCS not saving the settings on the WiSMs, but we discarded this after applying the settings directly on the WiSMs. I haven´t found anything on the release notes.

I'm starting to see what appears to be a trend. Where I have WLAN override selected and applied and in use for a while with no issues, it seems that randomly SSIDs are either dropping from the list of selected SSIDs and need to be reapplied, or are in the list and selected, but not actually being transmitted and require a reboot to get them to behave again. Is like config is partially lost. I have seen this around a dozen times over the last several months, not tied to any specific controller or WLAN, just feels a bit indiscriminate. Anyone else getting this condition? Lee H.
