Connect AP's to the 5508, you need to understand the basics design and why an AP might not join the controller:

Easiest way is to make sure that the time is set properly on the contoller or else AP's will not join.  Place the AP on the same subnet as the controller for an easy join.  Once the AP joins and downloads the code and is in the run state, then you can move the AP to another vlan.  Make sure that the AP gets an ip address also.

HI Scot ,

I tried all ways to connect to WLC but i think the problem is in WLC version is not compatible with 2700 series ,the current version is 7.4.110.0 and based on mention article there is  compatibility issue

[Scott Fella]

Yup... That compatibility matrix you should keep handy.  Code versions is important to make sure that AP's connect and also you will see what code is supported on them.
