Otherwise layer3 can be done via dhcp option or DNS entry. The AP needs to know how to contact a controller - one method is layer 2 discovery so connect the virtual controller and AP in the same vlan. Have you read any documentation and checked the configuration? I've retsrted both the AP and the virtual controller but it makes no difference.īefore I pull out what is left of my hair is the opinion that this should be a working combination and I'm simply doing it wrong or is this never going to work at all as they are not compatible? At no point can I see the AP in the virtual controlller. The status light spends a long time at solid green (10 minutes or so) and then flashes green/red for 30 seconds before going back to solid greed. I've unboxed one and connected it to a PoE port which brings it to life. That's as far as it went - the APs are all in boxes and have never been powered on until today. To get around this he has downloaded and setup a virtual wireless controller - an AIR-CTVM-K9 to be accurate. By the time he went to install them there was no budget to purchase one as Covid had happened and budgets are very tight. He purchased 4*Cisco C9115 APs but no controller as he wasn't aware that a controller would be needed. One of the projects the outgoing IT person had started was to install wireless APs at each office - 4 in total. I have just started a new job as the lone IT person working for a small company.
