Issues with 2800 series AP

ipsmanager — Mon, 05 Jul 2021 18:11:07 GMT

(Sorry for bad English)

Hello,

We have a WLC 5508 with the system version 8.5.151.0. On that WLC we have 3 types of AP associated :

- Access point 1532

- Access point 2602

- Access point 2802

Last week all of 2802 lose the association with the WLC, and it was impossible to re-associate those AP...

As a temporary solution we moved all of 2802 on our Main WLC which is located in an other country which is not the best practice.

Note that 1532 and 2602 AP don't have any issues and are still associated to the WLC, we didn't made any change or update on the WLC.

Now when we try to force the association with the WLC, they automatically re-associate with the Main WLC...

Am I missing something here ?

Did you guys experienced something similar ?

Post the complete output to the command "sh time". I suspect the time and date of the WLC is incorrect.

Ok, so post the complete output to the AP command of "sh version" and the WLC command (the unit that the APs don't want to go to) of "sh sysinfo".

Doesn't mean to hijack this thread.

Just wanna ask simple question

My friend installing vWLC with 2802e Firmware 8.5.140.0

AFAIK 8.5.140.0 is Mobility Express firmware

I only know CAPWAP firmware work with vWLC/WLC

Anyone know whether ME firmware will work with vWLC?

Won't work. The AP needs to be converted to CAPWAP in order for the AP to join a WLC.
