Hi all,
I converted AIR-AP2802I-B-K9 from capwap to ME.
I went thru initial config procedure and now I am able to login thru https web mode.
However, I do not see wlan broadcasted although all settings for wlan are made.
Also, my another concern is that device itself is still blinking red-off-green-off-blue-off.
And one more concern is that I do not see any access point in web menu.
Did I miss any settings? Please help.

You need a DHCP server. The AP entity needs this to grab an IP Address and join the WLC
You have 3 options:
For the last point you can use the following commands
from ME prompt ">"
apciscoshell
enable
capwap ap ip <address> <mask> <gateway>
capwap ap primary-base <ME name> <ME address>
logout

Thanks for reply.
I added DHCP settings, but still nothing changed.
LED is still blinking in cycle.
Weird thing is that my AP is appearing in Access points list sometimes but I can't apply any changes to it.

In web mode there is DHCP server settings, where I added DHCP pool....Was it wrong place? :)
09-04-2020 01:44 AM

Ok, let me try to explain from beginning.
I have AIR-AP2802I-B-K9 which I need to setup for future tests.
As I dont have any WLC, I read in internet that I should use ME.
Then, I downloaded 8-10-130 FW and upgraded using TFTP.
After reboot, I went thru config wizard but after another reboot I cannot find any new network.
Did i use wrong FW version?
Run config is enclosed herewith. I gave up and aborted in the middle of it :(

do as follow so i can check your configuration
ssh to the ME - log the session
config paging disable
config session timeout 0
show run-config
attach the file to the thread.

I have checked the video, thanks for the link.
However, after I converted to ME, after reboot I do not see any SSID CiscoAirProvision.
I went thru config wizard in serial terminal and then I was able to login thru web interface.
I am also able to setup new wlan. But point is that I do not see any Access Points.
I used v. 8-10-130. IS there any way to downgrade to any other version? since i do not see any access point in web interface I can't use it to downgrade...and when I try downgrading using serial, it says that there is no need to update...

Hi Rafael,

Please check the file.
SOmehow, file is not being uploaded to this forum. I uploaded to google drive: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jP-Vp59T8X6rYlgcHP7C6QBa2gLYqE4b/view?usp=sharing

Hello,
Few comments:
Do you have an external DHCP server for this?
Configure a DHCP scope for the following subnet and that should do it
IP Address....................................... 192.168.35.100
IP Netmask....................................... 255.255.255.0
IP Gateway....................................... 192.168.35.1

Thanks for your guide.
Now I am able to see my access point in web interface. (Not sure if it was caused by country setting or by DHCP settings, anyways...)
I noticed weird behavior: LED is still blinking thru red-green-blue cycle... once I restart the AP, I can see my created WLAN, but it goes off after several minutes.
Is it caused by power or are there any other settings that i missed?

it sounds like the AP is not fully registered to the WLC.
You can attach a fresh show run-config to check on it after the changes.

You have selected Korea as the country, if that is correct, then you need a -K and not -B model:

The -B models are only for USA (and maybe some other countries). It might still work, but only with a very few channels/frequencies.
