How to change in Aironet 1815i Mobility Express controller to Capwap mode?

[JavierRodriguezMiras9985]

This issue become a nightmare to me.

I want to convert the AP 1815i (which is mobility express controller right now), to be exactly, in the console appear like this: (Cisco Controller) > , to a simply capwap mode access point.

I tried everything i don't know how to fix the problem, because i want to connect this ap's to a new C9800-L controller.

i tried this:

Go into AP Cisco Shell:
(Cisco Controller) > apciscoshell

Log back into the AP again
Go into enable mode:
(Cisco Controller) > en

Change to CAPWAP mode:
(Cisco Controller) > ap-type capwap

The AP will reboot one more time, then it will be in CAPWAP mode.

But is not working,

when i put:

(Cisco Controller) > en

It doesn't recognize this command (en) and neither ap-type capwap

Could you help me please??

Kind regards.

Try the multiple-ap way documented here (last part):

Login to the Mobility Express controller console.

Type: apciscoshell (connect to the AP console)
Login to the AP console:

When the AP is on the Capwap mode:

I have the same problem and I don’t know how to fix. The guide in internet doesn’t fix it. Try to open an incident in Cisco TAC support
