AP 1700 try to connect a new WLC

[gayala00111]

Hello, have a god day!

I have a problem with a wireless network, al the access Point model 1700i was joined to a WLC, but this Wlc was Crashed.

My question is if I can re-join those access Point to the new WLC without press the reset button, because all the AP´s are mounted on the Wall.

If the answer is yes, how can I do that?

There are multiple ways,

As long as you configure DHCP option 43 to point to new WLC management IP address

or

add a DNS entry you should see those AP will register to new WLC

CISCO-CAPWAP-CONTROLLER.<local_domain_name> to resolve your new WLC management IP address

Thanks for your answers.

But there is a problem, the Access Point has a static IP Address.

With the DNS option thay you tell me can I solve the problem?

[Rasika Nayanajith]

Yes, DNS method will work. Let us know how it goes

Here is another option, broadcast forwarding

Humm,  static IP on the AP, but does not link to a wlc.  Is this a SAP1702?  rather than a CAP1702?
