Need help Connecting my AP's to the internet

[ridhaachoonara247]

Good Day.

I do not know how to connect my AP's to the internet. I am using a Cisco 2960 switch, Cisco WLC 5508 and AirCap ap's. I did the initial configuration for my switch and my WLC. And i do not know how to give the AP's internet. Could someone please help me, I would truly appreciate it.

Thank you in advance for all the help.

as you explained, you first need to make sure APs are joined to WLC and radios are up. then you need to create relevent network interface inside WLC and map that to wireless network. also wireless network should have security configurations such as preshared key. then your switch need to connect with your ISP router and share internet to internal network.

you better go through this document to understand complete process of configuring WLC and APs.

Here is my configs for both my switch and wlc and I still can not give my ap's internet. I have created interfaces for my managers_wifi and plant_wifi as well as assigned the the vlans to correspond to them. I to created the wlans and assigned the correct interfaces to them. I plugged in my ethernet cable from my isp into an unconfigured port on my switch but no internet is being pushed to my ap's.

for the interface connected to your ISP you should use a vlan know to connect to the ISP (considering you have a different switch or location connected through the same ISP) then after you have configured interface to connect to ISP simple test by pinging 8.8.8.8 (google) to see if you can get out to the world.
