I want to set the IP address for Access Point IW9165E with the command: capwap ap ip 172.16.10.200 255.255.255.0 172.16.10.1 but it shows the error "IPC socket server not ready for capwapd. Try after few moments, Errno: 2 Msg_id: 11 APBC8D.1F82.E7F0#"

AP Running image: 8.8.1.10

@gtstech

Is this AP really capwap? Can I see the "show version" command?

@gtstech

From the show version command, we can see ap1g6b

This code tells us that the AP is running AP-COS which is similar to clickOS or IOS.

These APs and software are pretty new to everyone and cause trouble. I am not sure if you have the command "ap-type capwap" available on there, if you do, that could be one way out.

If not, maybe you need to get a different firmware version in order to add this AP in the WLC.

""ap-type capwap" I tried and it gave me an error "IPC socket server not ready for capwapd. Try after a few moments, Errno: 2 Msg_id: 3
Unable to complete request right now. Please retry later."
and I tried to update the firmware version with the command "archive download-sw /reload tftp:" but it didn't work. I pinged the PC to the AP.

"The Cisco Catalyst IW9165E Rugged Access Point and Wireless Client (hereafter referred to as IW9165E) is designed to add ultrareliable wireless connectivity to moving vehicles and machines. The IW9165E runs Cisco Ultra-Reliable Wireless Backhaul (Cisco URWB), which delivers high availability, low latency, and zero packet loss with seamless handoffs.

The IW9165E can also operate as a Wi-Fi client in Workgroup Bridge (WGB) mode, which allows it to connect to a Cisco access point infrastructure, and Universal WGB (uWGB) mode, which allows it to connect to a third-party access point infrastructure. Both of these modes help bridge the wired clients that are behind the WGB to the access point on the infrastructure side."

I start to think that this AP is not for normal AP usage.

But, I am not sure. Best way to figure out. Put this AP in the same network as the WLC or connect It to a network with DHCP with option 43.

If by any chance this is made to work with WLC , It Will Join. But, as per documentation this seems to be made for backhau and wgb

Like Leo and the others I'm somewhat baffled as to how this AP can be running software version 8.8.1.10 because it is not supported, at all, on AireOS. The first version of 9800 IOS-XE to support the AP is 17.14.1 as per
https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/compatibility/matrix/compatibility-matrix.html#ctrl_release-ap-support and the first version of AP software for this model is 15.3.3-JPS
https://software.cisco.com/download/home/286331478/type/286288051/release/15.3.3-JPS

The URWB software seems to use the same version numbers now too, but ap1g6b is the lightweight (CAPWAP) image!

I can only assume you have somehow acquired this AP with experimental/pre-release software installed. You can try using DHCP with AP locally connected so that it can access the WLC via broadcast discovery to download supported code. If you cannot get the AP configured with an IP statically or via DHCP (so that it can download working software) then you'll need to contact TAC for RMA.

Where did this AP come from? Specifically, where was it sourced?

I think this AP is an Cisco internal demo unit and found itself in the used market.

What I read here is "You need to choose the image to boot up with according to the mode your AP is running, CAPWAP or URWB."

archive download-sw /reload tftp://ip-address//ap1g6m-k9c1-tar.17.15.1.4.tar right or upload with rommon.

Re: capwap not working

Rich R — Wed, 25 Dec 2024 10:49:12 GMT

@gtstech So you were able to get the IP address configured? How?

> I upgraded to new OS 17.15.1.4 but it reported the error below
Because you used the wrong image - you used the URWB image (ap1g6m-k9c1) when the AP is in CAPWAP mode (ap1g6b-k9w8).
You need to use the CAPWAP (Lightweight) ap1g6b image as per the link in my previous reply. The 17.15.2 image is at https://software.cisco.com/download/home/286331478/type/286288051/release/15.3.3-JPT1
