Cisco AP connected to Checkpoint SMB firewall

Hi

I got a branch office with small  Checkpoint SMB firewall, and I got a Cisco AP 2702 connected to it. All other devices are working correctly!

The AP is getting an IP address and asking the correct DNS server about "CISCO-CAPWAP-CONTROLLER." yet it does not get an answer and tries to use the secondary DNS which is 9.9.9.9

 

 

Translating "CISCO-CAPWAP-CONTROLLER.kis.local"...domain server (10.8.0.12) (9.9.9.9)

Not in Bound state.
*Mar  1 00:07:50.131: %CAPWAP-3-DHCP_RENEW: Could not discover WLC. Either IP address is not assigned or assigned IP is wrong. Renewing DHCP IP.
*Mar  1 00:07:54.227: %DHCP-6-ADDRESS_ASSIGN: Interface BVI1 assigned DHCP address 192.168.3.3, mask 255.255.255.0, hostname TBA-Centralkoket-Tillfallig

Translating "CISCO-CAPWAP-CONTROLLER.kis.local"...domain server (10.8.0.12) (9.9.9.9)

 

 

192.168.3.3 can reach 10.8.0.12, and if I ping "CISCO-CAPWAP-CONTROLLER.kis.local" from any device 192.168.3.0/24  I get the correct IP of WLC, but the AP still and continue with this:

 

*Mar  1 00:13:16.135: %CAPWAP-3-DHCP_RENEW: Could not discover WLC. Either IP address is not assigned or assigned IP is wrong. Renewing DHCP IP.
*Mar  1 00:13:20.243: %DHCP-6-ADDRESS_ASSIGN: Interface BVI1 assigned DHCP address 192.168.3.3, mask 255.255.255.0, hostname

 

  Any ideas?

Look at Use Case 1 - Point 2.

Try configuring the WLC IP statically on the AP with 

ap_console >capwap ap primary-base WLC1 <WLC Mgmt IP>
