Unable to get AIR-LAP1131AG-E-K9 connected to a Cisco Virtual Wireless Controller

Darron1968 · ‎10-12-2015

Hi All

I have just bought a couple AIR-LAP1131AG-E-K9 AP's off e-bay to help with my CCNA Wireless studies, But i am unable to get thw AP connected to the WLC.

the AP system software version is 12.4(10b)JA3.

the AP is set up for DHCP and it obtains an address, and on the WLC, if you go into "CDP-->Interface Neighbors" it lists the device as an AIR-LAP1131AG-E-K9.

But in AP Neighbors there is no listing for it.

in the summary screen of the WLC all indications say "0" devices found.

Also both 802.11g nad 802.11a say the software status is Disabled but i have enabled them in the AP GUI.

I am very new to this so your help would be much appricated. please let me know if there is any more information you require.

AIR-LAP1131AG-E-K9

And what country code is the WLC configured for?

Darron1968 · ‎10-13-2015

Hi, Thank you for your reply. the country is set up for GB - United Kingdom

Leo Laohoo · ‎10-13-2015

Console into the AP and reboot.

Post the entire boot-up sequence.

Darron1968 · ‎10-13-2015

Another silly question, what IP address range do you put the AP in, Management, Service, or Virtual.

Darron1968 · ‎10-16-2015

Do you have any more ideas that might help me please.

Leo Laohoo · ‎10-16-2015

Post the complete output to the following commands:

1. WLC: sh sysinfo;

2. WLC: sh time;

3. AP: sh version;

4. AP: sh ip interface brief;

5. AP: sh logs

I have no idea why I did not see this earlier.

The IOS image being loaded by the AP is an AUTONOMOUS image. The AP needs to load the LWAP/CAPWAP image before it can go and find the WLC.

Darron1968 · ‎10-16-2015

Oh, OK, thought that LAP was for a lightweight AP. i am now confused.

Do you know where i can get the correct image from???

Leo Laohoo · ‎10-16-2015

LWAP/CAPWAP image can be found HERE. Do NOT download the BIN file but download the TAR file instead.

Unpack the TAR file from the TFTP server to the AP and force the AP to boot the LWAP/CAPWAP image and this should start the process. Make sure there is no firewall around.

If you don't have a valid Cisco Service Contract, send an email to TAC and they'll publish you the LWAP/CAPWAP image of your choice.

The system has been encountered and error initializing
tftp file system. The system is ignoring the error and
continuing boot. If you interrupt the system boot process,
the following commands will set IP_ADDR, DEFAULT_ROUTER
and NETMASK environment variables, initializing tftp file
system, and finish loading the operating system software:

set IP_ADDR
set DEFAULT_ROUTER
set NETMASK
tftp_init

Leo Laohoo · ‎10-13-2015

Ok, thanks for the output. Here's what I've found:

1. Look at the time-and-date of the AP. They're incorrect. The WLC must have the correct time-and-date or the AP won't join the controller.

2. I can see the AP get an IP address. Can the AP ping the management IP address of the controller?

Darron1968 · ‎10-14-2015

Hi.

I have set the time correctly on the AP, but the Virtual WLC still does not see it.

if i log onto the CLI of the AP and the WLC i can ping both ways, but if i go into the web browser of the WLC and use the "Ping" in the top right hand corner of the screen, it will not get a response back from the AP. All windows firewalls are disabled.

Leo Laohoo · ‎10-14-2015

I have set the time correctly on the AP,

I repeat: The vWLC must have the correct time and date.
