Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Cisco AIR-CAP2702E could not discover WLC

[Bahr, Deb]

THANK YOU everyone for your help.

I added the MAC address to my dhcp server, and then followed Mary's
solution:

Solution from TAC was to ssh to AP:
Debug capwap console cli
Capwap ap controller ip address {IP_of_WLC}

Is now working as should!   Glad we only bought a handful of these.

We also had the problem with some of our last order. A real pain to set up DHCP 
for both MAC addresses when doing a lot of APs in a tight IP address space.

the ip helper/forward protocol discovery method helps when you can't put the AP

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Cisco AIR-CAP2702E could not discover WLC

[Jake Snyder]

2702s have had a number of issues, both I and E models depending on when they 
were manufactured.  There were a couple of months where APs were getting a bad 
image.  I haven't seen many I models lately, but E models don't get sold in as 
high of volume.  

There have been issues with both DHCP and DNS discovery not working, as well as 
the AP sending the AUX port MAC address in the discovery.

My experience has been that you can do a few things to help.  Configure both 
DNS and DHCP (Opt43) methods of controller discovery.  If that doesn't work, 
the ip helper/forward protocol discovery method helps when you can't put the AP 
on the WLC management address. Barring either of those, just configuring the AP 
via the serial cable generally works, but is less scalable and more labor 
intensive.

Hope this helps

RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] Cisco AIR-CAP2702E could not discover WLC

[Drury, Mary]

I had that issue with 1702.
Solution from TAC was to ssh to AP:
Debug capwap console cli
Capwap ap controller ip address {IP_of_WLC}

It works, but as you say, massively annoying.
There is a suspicion that having the AP come up in the same vlan as the WLC - 
my aps are in 4 different vlans, none of which are the vlan for WLC  - that it 
would find the controller.

Not with 2702's but 3702's, we had a batch come in enabled in Bridge mode out 
of the box. In which case you have to login to your controller and add the MAC 
address in the filter to allow it to associate. Then let it download the image, 
then change the mode. 

Massively annoying, but sometimes that's how it goes...

Apologies if this is not the same issue but if it is it will save you

We also saw the issue Jezz mentioned with two MAC addresses.  That was

You may also want to review this.

Maybe all you need is to add option 43 with the hex of the ip address for the

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Cisco AIR-CAP2702E could not discover WLC

[Mark Elley]

This sounds very much like the problem we had with 20+ 2702I-E-K9 APs.
It's a bug in the firmware - no idea how it got through testing...

We had to serially config them all by hand - very painful.

Process was...

   - Get MAC address of AP into your DHCP server
   - Boot AP
   - Using serial cable - enable -> Cisco
   - Type: *capwap ap controller ip address w.x.y.z* (in a few seconds the
   AP will start firmware upgrade - AP flashing blue)
   - When you get the usual "Not in Bound state" error, login to the CLI
   Uesrname: Cisco, Password: Cisco
   - enable -> Cisco
   - Type: *clear lwapp private-config* (AP will now start chatting to wism
   w.x.y.z)


Apologies if this is not the same issue but if it is it will save you an
awful lot of time trying to figure it out.

We also saw the issue Jezz mentioned with two MAC addresses.  That was
easier to overcome!

RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] Cisco AIR-CAP2702E could not discover WLC

[Palmer J . D . F .]

Hi,

We’ve had an issue with AIR-CAP2702I’s doing this, the issue was they were 
presenting 2 MAC addresses, the one on the sticker, and the next on in the 
sequence; it’s this next in sequence which was requesting DHCP.
We had to register two MACs for each AP for DHCP.  Once the AP has updated its 
image from the controller it reverts back to using the MAC on the label and 
everything is as should be.
TBH it pretty annoying, we’ve had around 200 out of 400 units do this.

Whether this is your issue I’m unsure, but it’s worth checking; also make sure 
your switch ports are configured up to accept multiple MACs.

Cheers,
Jezz.

Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] Cisco AIR-CAP2702E could not discover WLC

I am trying to deploy the 2702E AP's with 5508 wireless controllers and am 
seeing the following error:

Could not discover WLC.  Either IP address is not assigned or assigned IP is 
wrong.  Renewing DHCP IP.  It will receive an IP address, and then continue 
this error message and keep trying to renew DHCP IP.
I can connect a AIR-CAP2702I to the same PoE switch and it connects flawlessly. 
  I'm not sure why the 2702I will work and not the 2702E.
Has anyone else ran into this issue?
