3502I Access point not registering

[roycemathew]

       We have a new setup coming where we have no DHCP available so we configured switch as DHCP and with Option 43 for WLC ip.

AP gets an ip but its loosing its ip and going back to default ip of 10.10.1.10.

Any clue why.

I have configured switch port as trunk

dhcp shows bindings but AP not retaining this ip for long enough is there an issue with completing the registration process.

ANy ideas thoughts welcome.

Hi Mathew,

Example to configure DHCP on swicth for APs

Core Switch Configuration"

----------------------------------------------------------

ip dhcp excluded-address 10.99.80.1 10.99.80.100

ip dhcp excluded-address 10.99.80.110 10.99.80.254

ip dhcp pool WirelessLAN

   network 10.99.80.0 255.255.255.0

   default-router 10.99.80.254

   option 43 ip 10.99.80.1

   option 60 ascii "VCI string"

  lease 3

interface Vlan80

ip address 10.99.80.254 255.255.255.0

For AP connection:

Interface fa0/xx

Switchport mode access

Switchport access vlan 80

Hope it helps.

i have configured this same way. Only difference is switch port is configured as trunk as this is a Hreap AP.

HI,

DHCP Option 43 is limited to one access point type per DHCP pool. You must configure a separate DHCP pool for each access point type.

The 3502P access point uses the type-length-value (TLV) format for DHCP Option 43. DHCP servers must be programmed to return the option based on the access point's DHCP Vendor Class Identifier (VCI) string (DHCP Option 60). The VCI string for the 3502P access point is:

Cisco AP c3502

The format of the TLV block is listed below:

•Type: 0xf1 (decimal 241)

•Length: Number of controller IP addresses * 4

•Value: List of WLC management interfaces

still not work then please Console into the AP and post the output.
