Hi,
For the Mesh APs, you must enter the MAC address in the MAC filter which is found in
Security > AAA > MAC Filtering. Note that Outdoor Mesh APs, the MAC address is the BVI mac address, for Indoor Mesh, it is the Ethernet MAC address.
Also, if you're using DNS for controller discovery, create a pointer record in your DNS with the following:
CISCO-CAPWAP-CONTROLLER.domainname - IP address of WLC

Access points joining different WLC

hi
i have a wireless controller module( NME-AIR-WLC25-K9) installed in a Cisco 2851 ISR, this setup is in my remote site, we are connected through MAN network. In our main office i have a cisco 4402 wireless controller. so whenever i install a AP in my remote site instead of joiining the remote site WLC, the access point joins my main office 4402 controller, i dont why it is happening, the AP is not even trying to join the remote site WLC.. i have not configured high availability and both these controller are in separate RF network.
the firmware version in NME-AIR-WLC25-K9 is 7.0.98.0 ...
the version in the other controller is 6.0.196.0
Please let me know what is else i need to check asap
Thanks
karthik

Hi,
Did you even see the AP trying to join the local controller? If the controller are in different domains, the AP will prefer the remote controller since it join that one first. Since you are running 5.2, try configure on the AP the primary controller with the name, and local IP address of the local controller, and then reboot the AP. See if after that the AP join. run debug capwap events enable to see if you see the AP event trying to join the controller.

Manuel

Limiting access points joining a specific WLC

Hello Cisco Forum Team!
I am currently installing a new WLC in a VLAN/IP segment that already has WLCs configured and access points registered. I do not want existing ap's on this VLAN to join this new WLC. Which is the best way to limit ap's joining this new WLC?
I am thinking of some sort of AP authorization list but by IP address instead of MAC address due to the high amount of ap's currently registred on the existing WLCs (approx. 300 ap's).
Thanks in advanced for your support!

AP authorization list would work but you have to use MAC address & cannot use IP address for that. Once you enable AP authorization you can add AP mac to the list like below using CLI.
(5508-1) >config auth-list add mic <AP1 mac>
(5508-1) >config auth-list add mic <AP2 mac>
(5508-1) >config auth-list add mic <APn mac>

Access Points Joining 3850 next generation switches

It's my understanding that APs can join 3850s if and only if the APs are directly connected to ports on the 3850 next generation device.
Can someone point me to where this is explained?

CB90021204 - APs indirectly connected to a 3850 (connected to a downstream switch) will not join the 3850
Q. Does the Cisco Catalyst 3850 support indirectly connected access points?
A. No. The Cisco Catalyst 3850 switch will always terminate the CAPWAP tunnel locally. Pass-through mode or indirectly connected access point is not supported at this time.

Access Points Joining Random WLC

My environment contains 4 seperate controllers. 1 controller in the datacenter which remote offices use with HREAP and discover this WLC using DNS We will call this Controller WLC1. 2 more controllers (WLC 2 and WLC 3) in the corporate headquarters to support >40 access points in a N+1 configuration and finally an anchor controller which doesnt matter in this post.
What I am experiencing is Access points in the Corporate office are using DHCP option 43 to discover the WLC2. every night or after long periods of time a random number of my access points are either rebooting or most likely sleeping. Then are attaching them selves to WLC 1 which is in the datacenter and is not supporting DHCP from that location which to clients make the wireless network seem to be down.
I think that with using a hybrid of DHCP and DNS is partly my issue but it shouldnt be. I have primed all the Access point to look at primary controller WLC1 and secondary controller WLC2 both by name and using the IP address of the respective management ports.
Can there be any explaination for this and why this seems to be so random?
WLCs are 5508
Corporate Access points are 1142
***EDIT
After some more investigation this isnt completely random rebooting the access points in question are connected to a new 4506-E chassis with the Sup 6-E while the other access points are connected to a 6509-E.. not sure how much this matters but I am seeing in the access point logs that about every 2-3 hours they are accessing DHCP again and sometime not successfully. Is there some EnergyWise or power savings happening on the 4500 possibly??

I understand that all and here is a screen shot (see attached) of an ap that was on WLC 2 last night at midnight when i wrote this orginally and now how jumped to WLC 2.. The major issue here is that WLC 1 does not give out DHCP because it is used for HREAP and remote office that have other local DHCP servers.
I am running code 6.0.199.4
Now yes all controllers WLC1,2,and3 are in the same mobilty group. Maybe I should move the WLC1 out of the mobility group and that might solve the issue. Here is a log too. See timing is 3 hours and then its trying to find another controller. I see a retransmission count exceeded here. What can cause that? I have 4 port LAG configured on both WLC2 and WLC3 and they are both on seperate 6500 switches. This access point is on a seperate floor connected to a 4500 with uplink to each of the 6500's

Lightweight access-point joined the wireless controller but no radio channels

a customer wireless controller 2106 he use access-point AIR-LAP1252G-E-K9 the access point the leds indicate
etherner and radio is blinking green and status is green.
please help i am in the customer company now

The AP1252 has higher power requirements than some of the Cisco PoE switches provide. Depending on the switch you are plugging them into you will get enough power to power up the device and connect to a controller but not enough to power up the antennas. Options that can work include:
1) Removing one of the antennas if you are not gonig to use it (or as a temporary workaround to get some wireless)
2) Using an external power supply
3) Using an external inline power appliance system that supplies enough power (http://www.microsemi.com/powerdsine/ is one example).
4) Depending on the type of switch you are connecting to you may be able to upgrade code to provide a higher amount of power to the port. For instance, a Catalyst 6500 by default supplies 15.8 watts of power to a port. But if you upgrade the code to 12.2(33)SXH2? I believe you can get 16.8 watts of power and this is enough to bring up both antennas on the AP. But even then you don't have enuf power to run the upper N speeds - I think anything above 72 Mbps is unattainable.
Other AP models such as the 1140 have lower power requirements and may work better for you.

How do i ensure the new access point is joined the controller or not

How do i ensure the new access point is joined the controller or not

To Verifying that Access Points Join the Controller or not there are two ways as below.
Please go through the step by step to find the APs joined state
When replacing a controller, you need to make sure that access points join the new controller.
Using the GUI to Verify that Access Points Join the Controller
Follow these steps to ensure that access points join the new controller.
Step 1 Follow these steps to configure the new controller as a master controller.
a. Click Controller > Advanced > Master Controller Mode to open the Master Controller Configuration page.
b. Check the Master Controller Mode check box.
c. Click Apply to commit your changes.
d. Click Save Configuration to save your changes.
Step 2 (Optional) Flush the ARP and MAC address tables within the network infrastructure. Ask your network administrator for more information about this step.
Step 3 Restart the access points.
Step 4 Once all the access points have joined the new controller, configure the controller not to be a master controller by unchecking the Master Controller Mode check box on the Master Controller Configuration page.
Using the CLI to Verify that Access Points Join the Controller
Follow these steps to ensure that access points join the new controller.
Step 1 To configure the new controller as a master controller, enter this command:
config network master-base enable
Step 2 (Optional) Flush the ARP and MAC address tables within the network infrastructure. Ask your network administrator for more information about this step.
Step 3 Restart the access points.

An Error Occurred while trying to join "my wireless access point"

Hi,
I've been using wireless access for a year and never had a problem connecting.
But starting yesterday I get a +*An Error Occurred while trying to join "my wireless access point", Please try again.+* Message.
I have 2 Mac's and have no problem connecting with the other one. It’s just the IMac.
I tried everything including resetting router, changing password, adding a $ to the password, accessing without password, deleting the whole air port and create a new one, but still getting the same message.
I might need to add, while I was working with the IMac I didn’t use wireless for a few hours, but when I got back to my browser I noticed that I was connected to a different wireless service. (FONFREEINTERNET if it matters) I have no idea why, since I didn’t change it.
Anyways, I tried to switch back to my access point, but it wouldn’t let me. It’ll just give me the +*An Error Occurred while trying to join "my wireless access point", Please try again.+* Message.
Funny is when I use the FONFREEINTERNET access point the internet seems to work fine.
I could look up Google without a problem, but when I tried to connect to Facebook for example it won’t let me. Instead a FONFREEINTERNET page will pop up with some options on how to pay! (by minute/or day/or week…)
I get the strange feeling that they planted some kind of bug/virus!!!
I don’t know what else to do.
Anyone knows that problem? What can I do?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
I researched on FONFREEINTERNET, there’s a spot close to my house/guess that’s the one I used…
http://maps.fon.com/ ZIP CODE 904-0113 and you’ll see a coffee pod, which is about 2 minutes walk from my house.

Hello Tesserax,
I get the same error message again...
I tried the 3 suggested steps again, but unfortunately it did not work.
After a Restart, Sleep or just the awaking from Screensaver mode I’m disconnected from my wireless Network anymore.
Even if the Computer was asleep for just a second!
I am able to fix the problem temporarily with Network Preferences → Assist me → Diagnostics
Choose Airport → Choose network → Enter Password (Even if I check safe password it’ll ask me every time) → and than usually all lights on the left menu switch from red to green and I get the popup message “A Network Change has been detected. Your Internet seems to work fine.” (similar - I’m at work and don’t remember exactly)
And it works fine…until the screensaver comes on or it sleeps again
I have the Problem with my IMac and Mini but the IMac at least remembers my password…
Any Ideas
I’m connected through a Buffalo WZR2-G300N wireless router

AIR-CAP3501I access point not joining the Cisco 2100 Wireless Lan controller.

Hello All,
I am installing a new LAP (AIR-CAP3501I ) through the wireless lan controller (AIR-WLC2112-K9) with software version 7.0. I have an external ADSL modem which will act as the DHCP server for the wireless clients and the LAP.
Please find my network setup as below:
The ISP ADSL modem , WLC and LAP are connected to a unmanaged POE switch. The LAP gets its power through the POE switch. When i connect the LAP and the WLC to the switch along with the ADSL modem, the LAPs are getting the ip address from the ADSL modem, however they are not joining the WLC for further process.
ADSL Modem ip address: 192.168.1.254
Management ip address on the LAP: 192.168.1.1 ( Assigned to port 1, untagged Vlan).
Ap Manager ip address: 192.168.1.1 ( Assigned to the same port i.e port1, Untagged Vlan).
The LAP is getting an IP address from the ADSL modem in the range of the DHCP scope.
I will paste the logs very soon.
Please let me know if i am doing anything wrong oe what will be the issue.
Thanks in advance,
Mohammed Ameen

The Acess point joins the Controller for 2-3 seconds and then unjoins again. I am not sure what i am doing wrong here. The access points are getting the IPs from the ADSL modem through the switch, then it talks to the WLC, however it does not join the controller for further process.
Note:
The Managemnet interface and the AP manager interface are assigned to the same port 1 with unassigned Vlan as mention above.

Access points no longer join WLC

I have a 2106 v6.0.199 controller that was working fine with 3 access points. The Access points lost power and now will not rejoin to the controller. DHCP option 43 is in place. Any ideas on what is causing them to not join.

Hi glwendt,
Could you tell me how did resolved the problem with the AP certificate?
I am with the same problem here.
Thanks!

Access Points not joining WLC

Hello All,
I am trying to deploy several AIR-CAP3502E-E-K9 access points from a cisco 5508 wire lan contoller running ver 7 code. However iam having difficulty regiserting the access points with the WLC. The wlc is connect to a 3650 switch, and each access point is connected to a 2960 switch.
Problem Solved. A bad update was not allowing the access points to get their correct firmware.

You need to provide what Leo stated, that would help a lot. Anyways you can't telnet or ssh into a capwap AP if it has not joined the WLC. So that being said, provide the info Leo requested and then console into the ap and provide use with output from the console. Make sure you reboot the AP and then start capturing the output for around 5 minutes.

Unable to stop the event logs on access point console

Hi team,
I have an AIR-LAP1131AG-E-K9 access point having ios c1130-k9w8-mx.124-21a.JHB1.
When I am trying to take the console of it there are many logs generated like LWAPP ...Go join the controller, Discover controller etc. and the ap is unable to register to the controller(2112 with ios version 6.0.199.4). I'm trying to enter the command but there are many event msg generated....How do i stop this event log. I tried entering the command no debug all. but still there are many logs...
I want to enter the the following commands
#lwapp ap ip address <ip addr>.
#lwapp a pip default-gateway <gateway ip addr>
#lwapp ap controller ip addr <controller ip>
#wr me
Revert me back on urgent basis
Thanks in advance..

Thanks Rashika,
Now the access point got registered to the controller..This happened becuse of country Code..
I have changed the country code to UK, Belgium it started working fine.
Initially when it was IN the access point was not getting register..
But now the problem which arised is that the user is unable to get authenticated to the radius server.
Radius server is reachable and we have done every changes required for radius server authentication.
Users are getting rejected.
Customer is saying that the radius server is in IN domain and the WLC/access point is in UK,BE and hence the users are unable to connect..
Is it so??
Rply
Thanks in advance...

How do i get AE to work as well as old d-link access point

i have a d-link DSL-604+ which is great - works for broadband acts as a hub and provides wireless at one end of my long thin house. my main mac is plugged into it and works great. i ran some time ago a cat5e cable under the floor boards when we moved in to the other end where the wireless doesnt reach (just) and there i had a d-link dwl-900ap+ connected by the wire to the main router. it was setup with the same ssid and a different channel. my windows work laptop - depending on which end of the house i was would pick up the ssid and connect to the stronger signal no problems i could even walk up and down and it would switch over. now they are both b only and i have recently bought a new airport express with the plan of using airtunes upgrading speed of link and eventually changing my laptop to a mac. now on the old system my router would act as DHCP giving a 192.168 address. i seem unable to setup the AE to do the same thing. i can stream audio to my hifi no problems - this is cool. i can set it up to create a wireless network and give it a different ssid and channel but it doesnt seem to want to choose the same ssid. i can manually change it to the same - is this what i should do? however when i do this the AE trys to act as DHCP and gives a 10.1 address to the laptop which is odd - if i then move the laptop constantly tries connecting to both APs and changes its ip address. if i tell the AE to use 192.168 it says this conflicts with a wan setting. is there a way of saying get dhcp from elsewhere?
i am sure this is really straightforward and i am missing something. the dlink was easy i told it it was an access point - my network was called xxx and that the network had dhcp and it just worked.
should i be using the join a wireless network option instead of the create a network? but isnt this for people who are extending their networks wirelessly? i ran a cable.
thanks

Yes you will manually need to enter the SSID.
however when i do this the AE trys to act as DHCP and gives a 10.1 address to the laptop which is odd
You also need to configure the AirPort Express (AX) to bridge (not share a single IP address).

You should be using the "create a network" option.

Access points wont accept clients on 2.4 GhZ

Hi
We are having some Issue with some Access Points are dropping clients on 2.4 GhZ radio, the radio is if you SSH to the Access Point "Dot11Radio0 is up, line protocol is up".
Our setup is 2 x Wism2 controller (7.5), a CPI (1.4), and around 750 Access points of various types (1121, 1131, 1142, 2602).
If we reset the Access Point from CPI it comes up and it will again accept clients on 2.4 GhZ for a random time period, sometimes it works for some hours, sometimes for a couple of days, total random.
The once we have seen the problem on is as I know 1142:
Software Version
7.5.102.0
Boot Version
12.4.23.0
AP Model
AIR-LAP1142N-E-K9
IOS Version
15.2(4)JA1$
Hope to get help finding a solution.
Best regards
Jørgen

If you have a high density deployment, you might want to look at your RRM. What is the power set to on the AP's. If the power is set too low, that can cause clients not to see or be able to join an access point. If this is the case, you need to set the min tx power level for the 2.4ghz radio which is under the wireless tab in the 802.11bgn TPC.
If you have an issue with a certain AP model, it might be a bug, but you didn't mention what model AP is was happening to.

Cisco WLC 2125 and AIR-LAP1252AG-A-K9 access points

We are running into a little issue here and looking for some help. We have the Controller configured and it appears to be working properly the issue we are running into is that we can only get the above mentioned access points to only join the controller if they are plugged directly into the controller. I would assume that we should be able to plug these access points into any of our switches and they should be able to join the controller correct? Obviously there has to be a configuration issue somewhere and am hoping someone can point us in the right direction.
