Ras good reply my friend +5.
Chun -- Correct if you put it into workgroup bridge mode it will connect. You mentioned you were in root / non-root. It will not if thats the case.

Hi Chun
Good question and folks often get this confused. You aren't alone ..
Root and non-root are for aps in standalone also called autonomous mode. You can not bridge a non-root ap to a controller ap.
If you want to do bridging with a wlc you need to configure your aps in mesh mode.
Does that help ?

Hi Chun,
There is a way around as long as you configure non-root AP as WGB (station role work group-bridge). Then you should be able it to connect to controller based AP. Here how I did this for a testing purpose
