Bullsh*t!

An IW9165 running 8.8.1.10?   Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuure.

[gtstech]

Sure

@gtstech 

 Is this AP really capwap? Can I see the "show version" command?

[gtstech]

Show version

[gtstech]

show running-config

@gtstech 

 From the show version command, we can see   ap1g6b

 This code tells us that the AP is running AP-COS which is similar to clickOS or IOS.

These APs and software are pretty new to everyone and cause trouble. I am not sure if you have the command "ap-type capwap" available on there, if you do, that could be one way out.

If not, maybe you need to get a different firmware version in order to add this AP in the WLC.

""ap-type capwap" I tried and it gave me an error "IPC socket server not ready for capwapd. Try after a few moments, Errno: 2 Msg_id: 3
Unable to complete request right now. Please retry later."
and I tried to update the firmware version with the command "archive download-sw /reload tftp:" but it didn't work. I pinged the PC to the AP.

"The Cisco Catalyst IW9165E Rugged Access Point and Wireless Client (hereafter referred to as IW9165E) is designed to add ultrareliable wireless connectivity to moving vehicles and machines. The IW9165E runs Cisco Ultra-Reliable Wireless Backhaul (Cisco URWB), which delivers high availability, low latency, and zero packet loss with seamless handoffs.

The IW9165E can also operate as a Wi-Fi client in Workgroup Bridge (WGB) mode, which allows it to connect to a Cisco access point infrastructure, and Universal WGB (uWGB) mode, which allows it to connect to a third-party access point infrastructure. Both of these modes help bridge the wired clients that are behind the WGB to the access point on the infrastructure side."

I start to think that this AP is not for normal AP usage.

 But, I am not sure. Best way to figure out. Put this AP in the same network as the WLC or connect It to a network with DHCP with option 43.

If by any chance this is made to work with WLC , It Will Join. But, as per documentation this seems to be made for backhau and wgb

[gtstech]

What I read here is "You need to choose the image to boot up with according to the mode your AP is running, CAPWAP or URWB."
