Report for "not registered" mesh AP's

Question

We are using Prime Infrastucture to manage a very large mesh network of 1522's and 1552's on WiSM controllers. Is there a way to run a report that will show me just the "not registered" AP's so I can go troubleshoot them?

Hello Thomas,
As per your query i can suggest you to do the following checks-
Can the AP and the WLC communicate?
Make sure the AP is getting an address from DHCP (check the DHCP server leases for the AP’s MAC address).
Try pinging the AP from the controller.
Check if the STP configuration on the switch is done right so that packets to the VLANs are not blocked.
If pings are successful, ensure the AP has at least one method by which to discovery at least a single WLC Console or telnet/ssh into the controller to run debugs.
Each time the AP reboots, it initiates the WLC discovery sequence and tries to locate the AP. Reboot the AP and check if it joins the WLC.
