  • 1.  Aruba AP-567's red LED

    Posted Apr 22, 2026 04:33 AM
    Hi, We have deployed AP-567s in our infrastructure. But, I saw the LED colour look like the picture below. All connection is normal, we got connection speed as it should be. There is no power restriction, Uplink speed is normal. Power Draw showing 4.17W, I guess because there is not much clients, only 1-4 clients connected. Still the LED is showing red or amber colour.
    Is this normal? Or should we be concerned?

    Looks like you may need to open a TAC call. Its signalling a "general fault". See the guide here that tells you what the LED codes are: https://arubanetworking.hpe.com/techdocs/hardware/aps/ap560/ig/AP-560_Install_Guide_EN.pdf

    With only 4W drawn, I doubt the AP is active. You may see events from the AP and/or connect to it via the Central console connection (or locally via the MicroUSB console port); or did you found the issue already?

    I have reviewed the installation guide, which indicates that this condition represents a general fault on the AP. However, there are no alerts related to AP faults. All APs are still operating normally with a 4W power draw, but the LED continues to display a red/amber color.

    Is the LED red or amber? Red means a fault condition, the amber color typically is 'not enough PoE power' or 100Mbps link on a gigabit port. If the LED was really red, I don't think the radios would even come up, and I'd expect a different status than 'good'. So please check again, and if you are in doubt between if it's red or amber, power-cycle the AP as the first led color you see is red (flashing) during the boot; and for me (partially colorblind ;-) that is really red; the amber could be red but with some doubt.

    I still think 4W is really low for an outdoor accesspoint in full operations, but I checked on another AP567 and see below 5W values there as well.

    When checking support cases, I see two similar cases, one where the color really was red and I think the AP was replaced; the other case 'died' because the customer was no longer responding. If you can, please open a TAC case for this and have this investigated.

    I found an AP567 as well, and saw the same with firmware version 10.8.0.1; it was an amber light.

    After upgrading to 10.8.0.2, the LED went green again. Still looking for the 'why'; but you may see the same when you upgrade.
