APs not getting DHCP addresses

[Patrick McHenry]

Hi,

I've just installed a 2106 Controller at a remote site. The Controller is seen by the WCS at the main site so, connectivity is good and I'm able to login from the main site. I've configured the DHCP server which is at the Main site on the AP manager interface and the Manager interface and on the WLAN of the new controller but, APs are not getting addresses. Any ideas?

Thanks, Pat.

Hi,

I hope you have enable the option 43 in DHCP setting to discover the WLC automatically once the AP communicate with DHCP server.

Try to give static ip address or give reservation in the DHCP server.

Thanks for the response. I think I figured it out. The APs were shippid with the standalone image. I going to have to

change them over to LWAPP. Thanks.

Pat.
