1130AG not joining controller - FAILED CRYPTO INIT

ryan.meskill · ‎08-08-2011

I am trying to join my 1130AG-E-K9 AP to my 2016 WLC, but it is stuck in a boot loop and will not connect to the controller. The error I'm getting is:

*Mar 1 00:00:29.584: %CAPWAP-3-ERRORLOG: Could Not resolve CISCO-CAPWAP-CONTROLLER

*Mar 1 00:00:29.585: %CAPWAP-5-CHANGED: CAPWAP changed state to DISCOVERY

*Mar 1 00:00:29.598: %LWAPP-3-CLIENTERRORLOG: LWAPP Crypto Init (SSC): no certs in the SSC Private File

*Mar 1 00:00:29.663: %SYS-5-RELOAD: Reload requested by CAPWAP CLIENT. Reload Reason: FAILED CRYPTO INIT.

*Mar 1 00:00:29.664: %LWAPP-5-CHANGED: CAPWAP changed state to DOWNXmodem file system is available.

I found some details here: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6366/products_tech_note09186a00808f8599.shtml, but I'm not sure what it means that I have a 'SSC AP'. I am not local to this AP, though I do have a console connection to it-what do I need to do to get it working again? It just continually goes through this error and reboots every 30 seconds or so, so it's useless at the moment.

Thanks!

While that did help me potentially debug the AP, it seems the AP can not/is not reaching the WLC. Debugs on the WLC show other APs talking to it, but the only signature I'm picking up on the WLC from this AP is:

*Aug 08 20:34:36.376: 00:13:5f:fb:b4:f0 Echo Request from 10.50.0.25:44194

*Aug 08 20:34:36.376: 00:13:5f:fb:b4:f0 Echo Response sent to 10.50.0.25:44194

And from the AP itself:

Is my only option at this point reverting back to a standalone image, then going back to a LW one?

Thanks again,

Can you give us some details on how exactly you converted the AP from standalone to controller mode?

(maybe you did not use the lwapp upgrade tool which creates the SSC or some mistake happened during the conversion)
