I found out a couple of things. First, there seems to be a bug that causes this problem if the WLAN profile name and the WLAN SSID name are not the same. So just make sure those names are exactly the same. Second, and most exiting, APs download configuration from controllers they join. If you have an AP on controller X with SSIDs A and B and WLAN override on and the AP joins another controller with different SSIDs, the AP will lose its configuration. So when the AP goes back to controller X, your WLAN override settings are lost. Pretty fancy. One way to get around this is to define all your SSIDs in all of your controllers so that the APs never lose their configs. But we all know how practical that is.

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.
