Can't log into CLI on new 9120AXI

[john.loh]

I can get console output on my terminal but my (new-out-of-box) 9120AXI just keeps trying CAPWAP Discovery over and over again.  I have seen login prompt once but it won't let me log in.  I want to set this up with EWC.

What error message do you see/get when attempting to log in?

[john.loh]

no error message from logging in - just endless output of "ipv6 gw config loop in Ac discovery" and "CAPWAP State: Discovery".

Unless you purchased the 9120 with the EWC sku, then most likely it’s functioning as a capwap ap. This means that you have to convert the 9120 to EWC. Here is a guide that will explain the conversion. You can also search “capwap to EWC” and you will find additional information and blogs on the conversion.

Worked it out.  It was the terminal emulator.  For some reason SecureCRT does not work with console to AP.  Putty worked a treat.

I use SecureCRT and have had no issues with access on the 9120/9130’s.
