AP6521 and Virtual Controller VX9000

Hello,

Is it possible to adopt AP6521 on VX9000?
I have one for testing and >show adoption status shows that:
x9000-0AFA00>vx9000-0AFA00>show adoption status
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DEVICE-NAME VERSION CFG-STAT MSGS ADOPTED-BY LAST-ADOPTION UPTIME

Total number of devices displayed: 2

VX version is 5.9.1.2-006R

So, version-mismatch "means current controller image version does not correspond with current image version of adopted device."
What controller version should have I? I think AP6521 doesn't have 'higher' image version than I have.

Regards,
Adam

Both AP and the controller should be on same firmware version. Try this command ' device-upgrade ap6521 all'

To see the firmware that the controller has reloaded, try this command: 'show device-upgrade versions '

Hello Adam,

Yes, the VX9000 should be able to adopt the AP6521 AP.
Latest supported version for this AP is 5.9.1.5 so you should be able to bring them both up to this version should you so wish.
A LEAN (no GUI) AP image should already be included on the controller. If you'd like to have GUI access to the AP, you'll have to replace the existing image with the standard image: How to upload Wing 5x AP firmware image to Wing controller
Since we don't know what your config looks like, it's not clear why the AP did not automatically upgrade but you might want to start by looking at this setting in the VX profile:

profile vx9000 default-vx9000
--
no device-upgrade auto
--

You can enable this setting and test, or run the commands Robert provided you with or manually upgrade this AP: How to upgrade a WiNG controller or AP from CLI

I hope this helps,

Chris
