Adding Wireless APs (1262s) to 5508

Colin Higgins — Sun, 04 Jul 2021 04:24:42 GMT

I am putting in a new 5508 controller. I've built the WLANs, activated the wireless, and configured the network for DHCP.

When I add a new 1262 wireless AP to the network, it gets an address from DHCP, but then says it cannot communicate with the controller (it is on the correct vlan/subnet--the same as the controller).

Not sure what I am missing here, and the errors are not telling me much

any advice would be great

Make sure the time is set correctly on the wlc.

Along with the time that Scott mentioned what version of code are you running? The 1262's require either 7.0.98 or 7.0.116 depending on the model.
