Make sure the time (NTP) is set correctly on the WLC. Also place the AP's on the same vlan (for now) as the WLC. Console into the AP and make sure the AP is getting an IP address. Also post the output for us to see.

thax for your replay

i puting all in native vlan 1

its trunk between WCL and switch & trunk between AP and switch.

You don't need a trunk between the AP and the switch if the AP's are in local mode.  Only if the AP's are in H-Reap or FlexConnect do you have to configure the port as a trunk.

Hi,

Firmware version of AP K9W7 is autonomous so autonomous ap never join WLC . First you need to change firmware autonomous to LAP which is k9w8 then AP registered with WLC.
