Wing AP not adopting to controller

Shubha_m13 — Tue, 26 Nov 2019 13:27:20 GMT

I have configured VX9000 controller on Vm but when I connect my AP-7522 in network it is not adopting.

There are several things that could be happening here. The first one, since you mentioned that this is a VM, is...have you applied a VX9K platform license?

The VX9K comes with 64 AP licenses, but it also requires a platform license in order to actually function.

Hi Chris,

I am using VX9000 demo image, now my access point got registered on controller when I mentioned controller ip address in AP, but when I am configuring WLAN using pSK my SSID is not broadcasting.

My MLCP state is showing in discovering state, please find below logs from controller.

Please start with these basic steps::

1 - Check licenses to make sure that the VX license is properly applied.

#show lic

2 - Ping the AP from the controller and vice versa

3 - Check mint neighbors toi make sure that the AP sees the controller

#show mint neighbors

4 - Use layer 3 adoption

The mismatch error is indicating that the firmware on the APs does not match the firmware on the VX9000.

By default, the controller is NOT configured to automatically upgrade the APs to a matching firmware. This is by design and intentional (many customers do NOT want AP upgrades happening unless it is within a change control window so this functionality is NOT automatic).

You can change this behavior though and make it so that the controller will automatically upgrade the AP firmware whenever the AP connects. This is a configuration option within the controller’s Profile. See below:

Configuration → Profiles → vx9000 → Management (Firmware) → AP755

Click Ok at the bottom and then ‘Commit and Save’ and the top right.

Once that is done, you will need to either disconnect the APs and let them reconnect again...or reboot the APs. With the APs already adopted, the automatic upgrade will not work. It only happens when the APs adopt/connect.
