Hi Team,

I have running EWLC model number C9105 and I want to join two different AP models , which is C9115 and AP1815,

but as I know for example

AP1#ap-type ewc-ap tftp://192.168.1.25/ap1g7 tftp://192.168.1.25/C9800-AP-iosxe-wlc.bin

ap1g7 : C9115, C9120

ap1g5 : AP1815, AP154x, AP184x

ap1g7 support for c9915 so I upload that and make a EWLC and join AP of 9115 series , but I also want add/join another model AP1815 so how can I do to support both different models AP on same EWLC ??

ap1g7 and ap1g5 both file support on same EWLC at a time ?

Thanks & Regards

Dhaval

Hi Dhaval

Unlike a 9800 controller, the EWC flash memory does not have enough space to store all AP images. All the AP images need to be hosted on an external TFTP or SFTP server. When a second AP tries to join, the EWC points it to the external server. Without these commands, no other AP is able to join it:

EWC(config)#wireless profile image-download default
EWC(config-wireless-image-download-profile)#image-download-mode tftp
EWC(config-wireless-image-download-profile-tftp)#tftp-image-server 192.168.1.25
EWC(config-wireless-image-download-profile-tftp)#tftp-image-path /
