Hi

To join 1702 series AP , you need minimum 8.0.100.0 SW version on WLC.

Check here the comptibility matrix:

Thank you Sandeep I upgraded the firmware to 8.0.140 and connected AP and it worked.

[Sandeep Choudhary]

Paste the output of these commands:

sh version from AP

sh sysinfo from WLC.

Info: If you want to join AP, then you need to setup a dhcp scope on the wlc and make sure that it must be on the same network as the wlc management. The ap will get an ip address from the pool and join the wlc as long as everything else is configured correctly.

Is the POE port assigned to any interface and VLAN? And can the AP receive any address?
