9300 WLC Mode!

[georgehewittuk1]

Hi,

I'm trying to learn some SDA theory for wired and I keep getting issues provisioning a 9300 (17.3.3) to DNA (2.1.2.5)

"NCWL10100: WlanController is not found for the device < switch_name > with Id < switch_Id >"

It fails when I try to provision the device. Device has to be provisoned before I can add to fabric. I've tried playing around with setting it up but the documentation is confusing and is going quite off scope for me on the wireless side for now anyway  - https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/controller/9800/17-3/config-guide/b_wl_17_3_cg/m_software_defined_access_wireless.html

It is fabric enabled and i have put some config in but still no luck.

Can i get it to ignore that it is not avaliable as i don't want wireless? How does DNA determine if the WLC is avaiable as it seems like it is failing provisioning which is not related to anything SDA yet anyway.

Thanks

George

Hi

What is the goal ?

you can configure your switch as non-sda

Hi @georgehewittuk1 ,

Are you trying to provision the wireless function of the device in the fabric as well?

Could out give us the output of show install summary of the 9300?

And have you discovered the switch with NetConf working?
