Answer 1

Hello
we had this problem too. I've figured out that the AP's which came factory preloaded with the
LWAPP image version
PRE { font-family: "Liberation Serif",serif; }P { margin-bottom: 0.08in; }
8.0.72.236 and 15.3(3) JA (without 1)
Version 15.3(3)JA
LWAPP image version 8.0.72.236
remained stuck on
*Mar 1 00:09:24.639: %CAPWAP-3-DHCP_RENEW: Could not discover WLC. Either IP address is not assigned or assigned IP is wrong. Renewing DHCP IP.
*Mar 1 00:09:28.735: %DHCP-6-ADDRESS_ASSIGN: Interface BVI1 assigned DHCP address 192.168.0.60, mask 255.255.255.0, hostname AP881d.fcaf.a71c
Not in Bound state.
*Mar 1 00:10:21.139: %CAPWAP-3-DHCP_RENEW: Could not discover WLC. Either IP address is not assigned or assigned IP is wrong. Renewing DHCP IP.######### ######### ip IP information
In our case we wanted to use the DNS Entry CISCO-CAPWAP-CONTROLLER.domain.name to discover the controller. As older APs (1240) were able to connect I tried with the recovery image (downloaded on Support)
15.3(3)JA1 containing
PRE { font-family: "Liberation Serif",serif; }P { margin-bottom: 0.08in; }
Version Suffix: k9w8-.153-3.JA1 8.0.110.0
Image Name: ap3g2-k9w8-mx.153-3.JA1
Version Directory: ap3g2-k9w8-mx.153-3.JA1
Ios Image Size: 11407872
Total Image Size: 13496832
Image Feature: WIRELESS LAN|LWAPP
Image Family: AP3G2
Wireless Switch Management Version: 8.0.110.0
with this image the AP could join the Controller via DNS.
So If you have an AP preloaded with Image 15.3.JA (without 1) try this:
ping CISCO-CAPWAP-CONTROLLER.localdomain  as stated by mykhuzaimi above
OR
capwap ap controller ip address <IP-address> as stated by mykhuzaim above
set option 43
Load image ap3g2-rcvk9w8-tar.153-3.JA1.tar
Unfortunately all workaround require manual interventions......
