LWAPP Initial config issue .

glen.grant · ‎05-17-2010

Think I may be missing something here . Get a new LWAPP from the factory a AIR-LAP1142N . I get into the console and set the hostname and the controller name via lwapp ap hostname and lwapp ap controller ip address commands . Plug it into the network , it pulls a dhcp address and it will almost immedialtely associate with the controller i assigned and you can see it downloading code in the WISM . It downloads the code and resets itself and it never finds the controller again after that . Doesn't it retain the controller address after the reload ? I usually end up having to add a ip helper on the subnet its on pointing to the WISM address , you would think it would save the configured address specially after it initially talks to the WLC . Am I missing something here ? .

1140 so I guess you are running 6.X? I've never done the initial steps you have done (configure the WLC IP address) because I've noticed that the 1140 has a quicker way of finding the WLC by itself.

Did you ever get this one resolved? I am having similar issues with my LAP1142N. I am trying to put it back on a DHCP assigned address, but cannot figure out a way to get the AP do that. I had assigned it a static address, ran into the issue that you reported, and now trying to put it back on the DHCP segment, but it does not get the address. Weird!

Not really , have tried it a couple of other times with the same results so it must not retain the primary controller after

the upgrade process for some reason .
