The office has been a little quiet over the last few weeks as we wrap up the year, so a few members of our team built our own network-themed Christmas Tree (inspired by /u/Suddenly_a_Mexican 's tree). We used old hardware that we had laying around - a Cisco 3602i (top), 14 3502i APs and a HP 5406zl switch as a power source.
The LED state on each AP is determined by which blade it's connected to on the switch. One provides only PoE and no link which produces a rapid red blink. One provides PoE and link but no DHCP which produces a rapid green blink. One provides PoE, link, and DHCP which produces a slower green/off/red/off blink. The 3602 was flashed to autonomous firmware and had the LED blink in perpetuity through a CLI command. Sadly you lose out on the blue LED in the pattern and only get a rapid red/green blink in autonomous vs CAPWAP. The lamp on top was graciously provided by one of my colleagues.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone!
