I have googled this %DTLS-5-SEND_ALERT: Send FATAL : Close notify Alert to 10.0.0.5:5246 and did ap cert expire command on wlc and other command, it didn't help
10 previous AP-s have succesfully joined this WLC, but this one, nope

Thanks in advance

Re: AP not joining WLC

Mark Elsen — Mon, 18 Dec 2023 18:26:14 GMT

- Do you have sufficient licenses (for this AP (too)) ?

Re: AP not joining WLC

Majlo97 — Mon, 18 Dec 2023 19:18:30 GMT

Yeah, there are 2 AP-s which are permanently there, and WLC has 6 licenses

Re: AP not joining WLC

Leo Laohoo — Mon, 18 Dec 2023 21:57:37 GMT

Power down the AP.

Roll back the YEAR of the WLC to 2015.

Power the AP back up.

Re: AP not joining WLC

Majlo97 — Mon, 18 Dec 2023 22:09:31 GMT

I will try that when i get back to equipment.
Although, wlc has been set to 2014. year

Re: AP not joining WLC

Leo Laohoo — Mon, 18 Dec 2023 22:24:35 GMT

And factory-reset the AP.

debug capwap console cli clear capwap private delete /f /r nvram:startup-config

Re: AP not joining WLC

Rich R — Tue, 19 Dec 2023 14:59:51 GMT

And to permanently fix your issues read all the field notices below carefully then upgrade your WLC to 8.5.182.11 (link below).

Re: AP not joining WLC

Rich R — Tue, 19 Dec 2023 15:34:07 GMT

Good point flash corruption was very common on the IOS APs on older versions of code.

Re: AP not joining WLC

Majlo97 — Wed, 20 Dec 2023 07:23:14 GMT

Hello again, i have tried this, it didn't work

Re: AP not joining WLC

Majlo97 — Wed, 20 Dec 2023 07:24:05 GMT

I am going to look into this, but i am confused on how 10 previous APs didn't have this problem, and this one, oh god, it gives me headache

Re: AP not joining WLC

Leo Laohoo — Wed, 20 Dec 2023 07:29:58 GMT

Console into the AP and reboot the AP.

Post the entire boot-up process.

Yeah, i have just read it, so basically i should upgrade my WLC to newer image.
Because i don't have any other problem with flash except for:

%Error opening flash:/capwap-saved-config (No such file or directory)
%Error opening flash:/capwap-saved-config-bak (No such file or directory)

Raise a TAC Case and get the AP RMAed.

The 5.0 Ghz radio is dead.

This is a very common thing. I have RMAed about 20 APs with dead 5.0 Ghz radios in the last 5 years.

Re: AP not joining WLC

Rich R — Wed, 20 Dec 2023 10:40:35 GMT

Yep in fact that's both radios dead.
