Cisco Mobility express

[amalmichaelvj]

Hello team,

I have a cisco 1850 Aironet series access point.It is currently running mobility express firmware.

i also have two aironet 700 series ap.

Can i join these two 700 series ap as subordinates of master AP 1850??

Does 700 series ap support cisco mobility express??

kindly help

Take a look at this matrix as it can help in the future. It is supported as a subordinate.

Dear Scott,

As per document  Cisco 700 series Ap supports the Cisco mobility express.

But my 700 series ap are listed in red in colour not in green in Monitoring >>Network Summary.

Cisco mobility express:192.168.0.5

default gateway :192.168.0.1 (router)

dhcp server: 192.168.0.1

700 series ap ip address:192.168.0.101

Dhcp server is default router.when I check the 700 series ap ,it doent have ip address.i manualy give the ip adrees of same subnet but still Listed in red colour,only 1 in green that is controller ap 1850

What might be the issue ?

debug capwap of 1850 ap.....

Hello team,

My Cisco 700 series ap not joining the 1850 mobility express Controller.what might be the issue?

Any troubleshooting Documents available??

[Scott Fella]

Make sure the time is setupmon the controller and that the AP gets a dhcp address. Without a dhcp address the AP will never join.  Here is a troubleshooting guide for controllers but the same process as ME.
