Trouble getting Cisco 2600 Series AP to stay joined to WLC 5508

gregalink
Level 1
Level 1

Hi,

I have recently been tasked with upgrading our old Autonomous APs to LWAPs.  We have a 5508 WLC at our Virtual Co-Lo and I am using Flexconnect to accomadate local switching and dhcp at our sites.  I have upgraded over 50 APs and joined them to the controller.  These include only 1130AG and 1240AG models.  However they are working flawlessly and staying connected to the controller.  The issue I'm having is with a new batch of 2600 series APs staying connected to the controller.  I have attempted to do research into what may be causing the disconnects but have yet to find a solution.  I am using DNS to resolve the CAPWAP & LWAPP queries from the APs to the controller accross our WAN.  In reading other posts I thought it may be an issue with packets getting dropped but have had our Vendor who manages Sonicwalls at both ends of the WAN confirm for me there is no packet loss.  Below are logs I gathered using puttty from the AP & WLC.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

AP I'm doing the testing on:

NAME: "AP2600", DESCR: "Cisco Aironet 2600 Series (IEEE 802.11n) Access Point"

PID: AIR-CAP2602I-A-K9 , VID: V01, SN: FTX1740J8V1

Alright, so this ended up being a combination of a couple different things.  Firstly I needed to change a default gateway for the WLC interface at our CoLo because the WLC couldn't route traffic to all locations.  The other and most important find was the issue with the APs not staying joined to the WLC.  This was because of our existing logical network setup and the crux of the problem was our Business Wireless and Virtual IP Interface was sharing the same subnet as our wired network.  I have since segmented the wireless from the wired subnets and everything seems to be communiating properly now.

We are trying to get a 2602e ap work as indoor mesh unit  but AP is not joining WLC - the debug does not indicate a problem - shown below

any idea why?
