What is the exact model of the AP? Post the complete output to the AP command of "sh version".

This is a vWLC, was the EULA accepted?

What other models or aps do you have joined to that controller?

Re: AP 3700 cannot join vWLC

wfqk — Sat, 10 Apr 2021 14:20:45 GMT

AP3702i and 3602e can join vWLC8.0, but cannot join vWLC 8.5 or higher version

Thanks

Re: AP 3700 cannot join vWLC

Scott Fella — Sat, 10 Apr 2021 15:24:40 GMT

So the vWLC was upgrade from 8.0 to 8.5? This isn’t a new install of the vWLC on 8.5?

Re: AP 3700 cannot join vWLC

wfqk — Sat, 10 Apr 2021 15:40:17 GMT

Its new install

Re: AP 3700 cannot join vWLC

Scott Fella — Sat, 10 Apr 2021 16:01:40 GMT

I would then say that you have an issue with how you setup your vWLC. Also if the ap is pointing to another up, it’s probably because you have option 43 or dns configured. Also it can be that the ap has that ip stored in nvram.

Re: AP 3700 cannot join vWLC

wfqk — Sat, 10 Apr 2021 16:12:26 GMT

Thank you Scott, I also think the installation has some issue. because I just installed vWLC8.0 again in ESXi(last time installed at workstation it can work), but now the vWLC8.0 no longer work(cannot join). I installed it using normal protocol. Not sure what can cause the issue.

Re: AP 3700 cannot join vWLC

Scott Fella — Sat, 10 Apr 2021 16:35:40 GMT

You need to make sure promiscuous mode is enabled on any ESXi host. Take a look at the guide again to make sure you have all the requirements and have followed the steps for ESXi. VM Workstation is different.

Follow this guide. If you miss anything, aps will not join.
