Old famous problem - AP LAP1142N can't join the controller - 4402, please participate, let's make a good guide!

Hello folks,

I really feel sorry for bringing up this discussion again. I wouldn't dare to ask this question if I find someone's clear cut suggestion/solution or an overview giving a detailed step-by-step procedure. People just suggest jumping through so many  hoops like resetting the AP or converting it back to standalone mode and then back to LWAPP.

Hence I have so many questions and hope that we can make a good guide covering all possible problems.

1) AP was originally running a standalone image.  I booted it into a so-called ROMMON or AP mode (ESC is the right key to make it boot into this mode)

I found a recovery image in its flash - c1140-rcvk9w8-mx. I made the AP boot from it by using "set" command and I see that it start booting using this recovery image. Here goes the question. Do all AP settings matter ? E.g. when I run "set" command from AP I see the following:

ap: set

?=

DEFAULT_ROUTER=10.0.0.1

Default_router=10.9.99.1

ENABLE_BREAK=yes

IP_ADDR=10.0.0.1

IP_AddR=10.9.99.9

MANUAL_BOOT=no

NETMASK=255.255.255.224

NEW_IMAGE=yes

PWR_INJECTOR_DETECT=0016.c7fa.b394

RELOAD_REASON=9

ROM_PERSISTENT_UTC=1014941470

TERMLINES=0

netmask=255.255.255.0

2) How would do something like "write erase" or even recover the enable password while being in AP mode? Do I really need to do it ? What I see next makes me believe there's something with the AP configuration (particularly SSH) that prevents an AP join WLC.

3) The AP is powered on, connected to the switchport on the same L2 VLAN where WLC management interface. Then it boots and gets an IP address from the DHCP server located on the other switch.

Here comes the question, why do I see this on the console (pay attention at "transport input ssh" line)? Does it have anything to do  with an error for DTLS ?

transport input ssh

% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.

4) Do I have to connect the controller ap-manager interface to the network or I can rely on the AP find the WLC via its management interface. I have never worked with 4400 series controllers. Just started with 5500 and they don't have the ap-manager interface.

Cisco guide says: "The management interface is also used for layer two communications between the WLC and access points", so I can safely assume that it is enough. Moreover I can ping the AP from the WLC while connected to WLC via SSH and its management interface.

5) And finally, what's wrong with the discovery? This is what I see on the controller while debugging capwap packets:

As far as the rest of this thread going all over the place....:

Can you confirm that the Management Interface and the AP-Manager are both in the same vlan, same subnet, and are configured with the same Port Number?

All this business about 1 SFP and which port to plug in has me concerned you split the ports or something.....

The first logs provided imply the AP couldn't attach to the AP-Manager address (but that the Management Interface discovery was fine)

The second logs provided imply the AP never discovered a WLC at all (no attempt to join)...

But then again, as Leo referenced, the Canada domain I guess is a -A not -N.....  so perhaps that was your original problem all along, and the 3600 won't join just because it isn't compatible.

View solution in original post

just think of the 4402 similar to the 5508. The only difference is that on the 4402 you need to use 2 IP addresses in the management vlan on the same port (1 for Management, 1 for AP-Manager).

You can do as many dynamic interfaces you want on port 1,  its just a trunk port.    But the Management+AP-Manager are the only two that can share a vlan ID.

Well you do need to connect the AP manager to the network and it should also be on the same subnet as the management. The 5508 uses a dynamic ap manager that is enabled on the management interface which is different from the 5508. Configure the AP manager interface and have that on the network and see if the AP joins.

Thanks,

Absolutely no luck at all.

Starting the drill again, reset the AP, had it booted and receive the IP address. Now I don't see the previously shown DTLS errors. This is what I see on the AP console this time:

On the other hand the controller does report some activity, see below the output of "debug capwap packets/events enable". But this doesn't go anywhere, the LWAPP discovery requests rotate after validating the request from AP (192.168.1.124)

A quick question, though. Should I have management interface connected at the same time or not? The thing is that I have only one SFP module and I plugged it into the AP Management interface. There's a PC connected to the Service interface and I can SSH into the controller.

Hello

 

I don't know if someone has already found some other way around  or not..  In my case I tried everything  and troubleshooting several hours,  this is what worked for me.  And I did that 4 global site having similar issues and all working now

 

These AP's cannot be downgraded, and this version would not register to any WLC below ver 8.0,  so I upgraded Wireless Controllers to 8.0.120.0 which is current stable version , Once its done you will see AP's will start registering .  take 20 to 30 minutes.

 

Thanks

Configured Country............................... CA  - Canada

Product/Model Number                 : AIR-LAP1142N-N-K9

Here's the reason why.

Country code configured for the WLC is "A" while the WAP is configured for an "N" regulatory domain.

let's make a good guide!

This is in the guide but alot of people don't bother reading the guide.

The irony is that I grabbed these two devices from our regional Cisco office which is Vancouver BC Canada and we are across the street from them. Why would one even pay attention at these details?

Moreover, I studiously read the following troubleshooting guide

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6366/products_tech_note09186a00808f8599.shtml#p2

and didn't find any clue that would prompt me to look at the regulatory domains. I didn't see anything on the debugs.

Thanks, anyway. Let's try the right AP. I have AIR-CAP3602E-A-K6 now running AP3G2-RCVK9W8-M image.

We eliminated all regulatory domain problems, correct?

What the heck is going on now ?

The AP keeps requesting an IP address from the DHCP server and drops it. How many guides and documents one is supposed to read before bothering other people ?

Can you attach your show run-config an also the switchport configuration the WLC and AP is connected to.

Thanks,

Ok, now you've eliminated the regulatory domain, can I ask if you can set the CORRECT TIME & DATE of the WLC?

Can I also ask if you can use a power injector please?

Of course I will try to use the power injector and verify the time and date on the controller tomorrow.

A quick question. How is a power injector going to help? I remember we deployed about 20 AP with 5508 controller and we didn't have to jump through many hoops. The AP just smoothly joined the controller and got primed.

Secondly, the wrong time that we see on outputs for AP is absolutely weird and insane. The new AP boots and we see the time as of 1 March and then it is set to Nov 18. The time on the controller was set correctly when I did a basic setup and the previous output above confirm it.

Says in the log that the WAP is plugged into a 3560 with 8 PoE ports.  I don't know what's there but maybe the 3560 may have ran out of power.

I understand the 01 March date and this is expected but the fact that it went to 18 November is weird if you are saying your WLC has time and date set correctly.  Can I ask HOW is the time-and-date of the WLC set?

Another thing, console into the WAP, and enter the commands:

clear capwap private

clear capwap controller ip address

Reboot the WAP.

After the reboot, wait until the WAP gets an IP address and try if you can ping the Management IP address of the WLC.  If you can, then enter this command into the WAP "capwap ap controller ip address ".

Bootloader Version............................... 4.0.219.0

You borrowed the the 4402 from Cisco?  I wonder how they were able to load the firmware without loading the bootstrap.  I am not sure if this is related but the output below is from my 4402.

Never in our life time will you get a  AIR-CAP3602E-A-K6 to join the 4402.  It will only join 7.1 and 7.2+ WLC code.
