Trying to move from an AP1240 to a C9115

[brian.jones]

I am trying to move from an older AP1240 to a C9115 with the EWC.  I am having trouble finding any good documentation for configuring a C9115 via CLI (remote AP) for two SSIDs, corp and guest. 

When I go through the day0 configuration, I cannot ping the upstream switch, but the switch is configured for the native Vlan for management correctly with no vrfs involved.  

Any suggestions?

I’m not going to assume that everything is configured properly, but there are many EWC guide, white papers and blogs that go over the setup.

If you can connect a laptop to the same port, do you get an ip address from the correct vlan and can you ping the gateway. At least that starts to help eliminating variables.

I can ping the gateway from the switch itself but i didn't have the onsite guy plug his laptop into the port.  Curious that the MAC address is 00:00:5e:00:01:01 of the AP is the same as the default gateway's MAC address.   Running EVPN-VXLAN, so the upstream spines have a default MAC of 00:00:5e:00:01:01 by default.  Is there a way to tell the AP to use a different MAC address?

So some progress.  I was able to change my anycast MAC address on the VXLAN that the AP is running on, so i can ping everything now.  Here is the rough flow:

Jumpbox - FW - Default Gateway - Local Office Switch - EWC/AP

So from the Jumpbox, I can ping the IPs for both the EWC and the AP as well as the Office Switch. DHCP is enabled on the Office Switch, but the Default Gateway is not set to relay.  However, since it is on the same broadcast domain, I should not need the Default Gateway to relay the DHCP back to the switch.  The switch should just answer the broadcasts that it hears.  I cannot connect to the GUI via https://(the ip address of the EWC).  I can see it getting through the firewall, but the EWC never responds.  My issue is that I am remote so I cannot connect to the AP via Wifi.  Any suggestions?
