Cisco 1562i becoming a WLC even after a factory reset

[key_tone_9926]

I have a 1562i that was configured with mobility express as a WLC. I have now did a factory reset as i now want it to join as an AP to an existing network running mobility express 8.10.151.0.

When i add the static ip addres to the AP and give it the I address of the WLC for it to talk to. After the reboot of the capwap  it boots back up in to the WLC configure on the AP so it is working as a WLC and not as a AP. 

Below is the image type and AP config;

AP Image type : MOBILITY EXPRESS IMAGE
AP Configuration : NOT ME OR EWC-AP CAPABLE

Any help you can give that would allow me to set it to stop booting up as a WLC and allow it to join another WLC would be much appreciated.

Many thanks in advance

Hi,

To reset the AP into CAPWAP mode you’ll need to enter enable mode on the CLI and enter the “ap-type capwap” command.

Just connect with console or login via IP and type this command, and enter:

1562#ap-type capwap

It will reboot and then try to join other ME WLC in your network as subordinate AP.

Hi,

As per the below output, even though the Access Point has the Cisco Mobility Express image, it is configured to run as a CAPWAP Access Point. In this case Access Point will not run the controller function and will not participate in the Master Election process upon failure of the active Master AP.

AP Image type : MOBILITY EXPRESS IMAGE
AP Configuration : NOT ME OR EWC-AP CAPABLE

Th problem could be something else, can you connect your console to the AP and post the output while trying to join the other ME WLC? Also make sure that this AP is upgraded to match the new ME WLC AP image or you need to host the AP images in a TFTP root folder and configure the new ME WLC to serve the images to the AP's trying to join him. 

ME WLC's itself doesn't hold any AP images because it doesn't have the resources like physical WLC's. If you need to configure the new ME WLC for AP image management you can follow the below link.

Configuring management interface

[Arshad Safrulla]

Did you assign the static IP before the ME converted to capwap or after the capwap conversion?

Can you go through the initial configuration for ME make sure that the AP is reachable from it's gateway and try again to convert it to capwap (ap-type capwap). Once the AP is rebooted you may console in and configure the static IP and direct it to the new ME WLC.

This was suggested to us by Cisco SE while migrating a ME setup (2800) to 9800-CL 

[key_tone_9926]

I had  set the the ap-type to capwap. I reloaded the AP. then set the static ip address of the AP and the added the ip address and the the name of the WLC that it would talk to. and it is still doing the same. 

I goes through it's boot up sequence in the CLI then it loads in to the initial set up for it to be a WLC. 

It is still the same . 

[Arshad Safrulla · Accepted solution]

Please configure the ME WLC with initial setup and make sure it is accessible from the Gateway. Then issue the command ap-type capwap, then it will reboot in to CAPWAP.
