We are having an issue with the following setup;
Cisco 2504 Controller -
| Software Version | 8.1.102.0 |
Cisco 3702I - two AP's - regulatory domains are unprimed, need to prime them - flashing green, red, black confirms (visual), and the controller notes unprimed AP's
| Regulatory Domains | |
| Country Code | |
| Universal Prime Status | |
| Cisco Discovery Protocol |
We have connected to CCO via smartphone, logged in, and are having issues acquiring an IP address. The following steps have been completed to prep the controller and AP's for 'priming' - We of course cannot login via smartphone to SSID called Universal AP (for priming). It seems the smartphone is not acquiring an IP address after login ENTER WIFI PASSWORD screen on smartphone - notes WiFi is not connecting;
Preparing a 2500 Series Controller for Manual Priming
Step 1
Open the WLC graphical user interface (GUI)
Step 2 Choose WLANs to open the WLANs page.
This page lists all of the WLANs currently configured on the controller. For each WLAN, you can see its WLAN ID, profile name, type, SSID, status, and security policies.
Step 3 Click the WLAN ID of the WLAN to which the universal AP is to associate. The SSID of this WLAN is the same SSID which the smartphone will need to connect to later, when priming the universal AP.
Step 4 Go to Security tab > Layer 2 tab.
a. Choose Layer 2 Security as ‘WPA+WPA2’
b. Under WPA+WPA2 Parameters check the WPA2-Policy AES check box.
c. Under Authentication Key Management enable 802.1x or PSK, based on your requirements. (WE chose PSK since we have no radius server)
Step 5 Go to the Advanced tab. Enable Universal Admin Support by checking the Universal AP Admin check box.
Step 6 On the General tab, select the Status check box to enable this WLAN.
Alternatively, to enable the WLAN at a later stage:
a. Choose WLANs to open the WLANs page.
b. Enable or disable a WLAN from the WLANs page by selecting the check box to the left of that WLAN.
c. Choose Enable Selected from the drop-down list
Step 7 Click Apply to commit your changes.
Step 8 Click Save Configuration to save your changes.
During manual priming, using Cisco AirProvision, ensure that all non-universal APs on this WLAN are disabled. This ensures that the smartphone connects to only the universal AP awaiting priming.
Once your configuration settings are committed, proceed with Step 3, in the Overall Workflow for Priming a Universal AP.
Any comments or tips to have the smartphone connect and acquire an ip address from the priming SSID network?
