Hi ,

I hope that you are doing good.

How can i do it?

Hi @abdelmoulamarhabi1

 You need to download a capwap image for your AP model on Cisco site. Convert it following this link and then join it on the WLC.

@flavio - Will 'ap-type capwap' out of the box work too? I'm actually not sure myself but some ME APs appear to ship with both?

Hi Flavio,

Thank you for your reply.

In this link, it's not montioned that we need dowload a capwap image for my AP to do this operation.

We need just execute command line ap-type capwap and after it will reboot to dowload capwap image from controller.

What do you thank please?

Thank's

My bad, the other way around need software download. You can just follow the guide.

 Good luck!

Hi,

You just need three step to convert it:

Step 1 Login to mobility express CLI, type in username and password

Type Ciscoapshell and give the password

Step 2 Type Enable to go to privileged execution mode.

Step 3 Enter ap#ap-type capwap and confirm to switch to the CAPWAP type.
