On an Aruba AP, a solid amber radio status LED indicates: A. Not enough PoE is provided from the switch to power both radios of the AP When the radio status LED on an Aruba AP shows a solid amber color, it typically signifies that the PoE (Power over Ethernet) supplied by the switch is insufficient to power both radios of the AP (usually the
2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands). This may require checking the PoE budget of the switch or using a higher- powered PoE source.
Other options, such as the radio working in mesh mode, operating only in the 5 GHz band, or being enabled in monitor or spectrum analysis mode, typically do not result in the LED showing a solid amber color.
