new cisco 9800 controller

[ddesai]

I could not connect new controller with serial number of device password.

I tried username and serial number but no luck.

admin admin no luck.

I have configured vlan 1 Ip address so i can access through web but not login any one can help me ?

  - Instead of Day 0 setup , make a basic configuration on it through the console first ; and add a user plus define an enable (secret) password (too)  , for instance.

I can access through console and also access through gui 192.168.1.1 because I have login through console and set ip address to VLAN 1 and setup up password but no luck to login. Thanks for helping me on this.

 - Use this procedure to configure the controller through the console : https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/controller/9800/9800-40/installation-guide/b-wlc-ig-9800-40/power-up-and-initial-configuration.html#Procedure_Using_Cisco_setup_Command_Facility

check below guide :

http://192.168.1.1. Enter credentials as “webui” for username and the serial number of your controller for the password

I tried webui and serial number but no luck

I have configured username cisco and password xxxx but no luck too.

As @Mark Elsen sid, try manual configuration instead of using Day-0 wizard.
This is an example:

@ddesai - @Mark Elsen and @JPavonM have both already provided instructions for you to follow!  Did you make any effort to follow those instructions?

Try to follow the console day 0 instructions (starting with erasing your existing config to make sure you have a clean start):
https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/controller/9800/9800-L/installation-guide/b-wlc-ig-9800-L/Power-Up-and-Initial-Configuration.html#Procedure_Using_Cisco_setup_Command_Facility

What is command to install image from usb drive?

[Rich R]

> What is command to install image from usb drive?
copy usb0:<filename> bootflash:<filename>
Then to boot directly from that image:
conf t
no boot sys
boot sys flash bootflash:<filename>
end
wr
reload

To install the image:
install add file bootflash:<filename>
install activate
After reload:
install commit
Otherwise it will try to rollback to the previous IOS after a few hours.
