3650 and AIR-CAP3702I-E-K9 - AP only join in access port

[albertofdez]

Hi,

I have a stack consisting of 2 WS-C3650-24PS (version 03.03 .05SE) configured as MC and 4 AIR-CAP3702I-E-K9.

Everything is working properly and the APs are joined without problems, but only if the port of the 3650 is configured in access mode. This is a problem because i need to set up multiple SSIDs in different VLANs and i need that the AP can join in a trunk port mode.

This scenario what i have set up in other occasions WLC in 2504 and 5508 without any problem.

How do I configure multiple SSIDs in different VLANs but can I put the port mode in trunk?

Best regards.

Everything is working properly and the APs are joined without problems, but only if the port of the 3650 is configured in access mode.

This is a prerequisite for Converged access wireless where you have to connect AP directly onto switch (MA) where port is configured as a "Access Port".

You cannot  connect AP on trunk port (as it is unsupported). But this will not limited to configure multiple SSID on different vlans in Converged access. Since CAPWAP establish between AP and 3650 switch, you do not want dot1q trunk between AP and Switch.

Hi Rasika,

If the port is configured in access mode, how the aps put the traffic in the correct vlan?

There are any configuration special in the port or in the wlan?

Best regards.

Hi Rasika,

And the AP has to be necessarily connected to a 3650 MC mode in 3650 in MA or another way, is it right?

There is an official document discuss this restriction?

Best regards.

Hi,

You will be using a lightweight version and therefore can not enter setup mode. Use these commands

ap#debug capwap console cli

ap#configure terminal

[yoga_1980]

I am not able to go console cli

ap# debug capwap ?

client

mcast

mfp

these only I can see

[Sandeep Choudhary]

Just give this command altogether:

debug capwap console cli
