I am having a problem getting AP3802e to join and stay connected to the root bridge a mesh profile was created. Under the different mesh APs are correctly selected mesh or root in this case mesh. For some reason the AP connects then disconnects showing wired0 emac 0: link down state. Any suggestions is greatly appreciated.

- What is the software version on the C9800 ? Use recent release and or try with 17.9.3 (e.g.)

Hi

As per the Datasheet for this Access Point, it supports:

The AP supports the following operating modes:

Local—This is the default mode for the Cisco AP. In this mode, the AP does not serve clients

Flexconnect—Flexconnect mode for the Cisco AP.

Monitor—This is the monitor-only mode

SE-connect—Spectrum expert-only connect mode allows the AP to perform spectrum intelligence.

Sensor—Sensor mode for the Cisco AP.

But, to be in mesh network the AP should support bridge mode. I believe this AP will not support the mesh network.

@Flavio Miranda according to https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/access_point/feature-matrix/ap-feature-matrix.html#_Toc118737974 mesh is supported on 3802. The data sheets don't always get updated when new features are added/supported later.
