Convert ap1815w from CAPWAP to ME

[pathfinder80]

Hi,

Is it possible to convert access point 1815w from Lightweight to Autonomous without the console adapter (Part Number: AIR-CONSADPT=)?

There is no such command.

Ah sorry, that WLC model doesn't support the license command.
But, from your output:
License State: Active, In Use
License Count: 5 / 5 (Active/In-use)
You are out of available licenses.

Hi,

Yes, something is wrong with the licenses.
I tried to activate a trial license for 75 AP, but also the situation:

I'm not entirely sure, it could also be the "normal" output, regardless if a device is connected or not. I don't anymore have an old WLC to check, as mine are RTU licensing based. Sorry can't help you any further here.

Did you reboot the controller after enabling the evaluation licenses ?

Can you run these to commands

>show license evaluation

>show license summary

Hi,

Yes, I rebooted the WLC.

Now 75 licenses are deactivated.

Hi,

Solved!
The access point was registered in WLC after adding the DHCP settings on the L3 switch:
- option 4 (ip address Time Server)

- option 42 (ip address NTP Servers)

- domain-name

- update arp

What exactly influenced is not clear. After removal of these settings, the access point is still registered.
Next, I changed the firmware on the access point to the ME.

Best regards,

Maxim.
