I am trying to join ap 3702 connected to cisco ie500 switches that are in OT zone behind NG fw 2110 to wlc 5508 which is connected core switch 3850 which is outside the ot zone .
But the AP AS CLI is not able to REACH WLC and not getting ip from wlc's internal dhcp server.

You need open the FW for the below ports as per the cisco recommendation.
AP to join the WLC is UDP 5246 and UDP 5247
If you need more option like telnet, http, ssh, https for AP, please open that port for management.

This is not going to work.
AP's IP address can only be pushed out using DHCP Option 43.

Maybe you need to configre an IP helper on the FW pointing to the WLC mgmt interface to forward the DHCP request from the AP to the WLC.

Take a look at the following link:

Why didn’t you just stage the AP? You should of connected it local first to join the controller, then you wouldn’t have to deal with ip helper, etc. you could have someone console into the AP and set the controller ip.

How to do this in 3702 as its capwap?

From console connection to the AP:
ap#capwap ap controller ip 10.10.10.10 (WLC IP)
OR
ap#capwap ap primary-base WLCNAME 10.10.10.10 (WLC IP)

Looks like option 43 is not in place with the corresponding VCI (vendor class identifier) in the DHCP = Cisco AP c3700

Is below configuration on Aggregation switch fine for option 43:
ip dhcp pool vlan84
network 10.10.84.0 255.255.255.0
default-router 10.10.84.254 ///default gateway of vlan84 on Agg switch
domain-name ----.com
option 60 ascii "Cisco AP c3700
This aggregation switch is connected to fw from inside and provided as gateway for inside zone switches and users of OT. Its connected to internal interface of FW. FW's outside interface is connected to core switch which gives connection to WLC 5508 whose management ip is 10.10.7.1
Also shall I be statically configure on AP 3702
ap#capwap ap primary-base WLCNAME 10.10.7.1
is this static config enough or should i add DHCP 43 also? For other wlans on wlc for users outside fw, i have used WLC internal dhcp server

The DHCP pool only has DHCP Option 60. DHCP Option 43 allows the AP to know the WLC details.

Based on my understanding Option 60 is ONLY for the VCI and it does not provide the WLC IP. That's why you need Option 43 or configure manually the WLC IP on the AP as indicated before.
