For resetting, are you able to at least telnet into the AP? And what version of software is running on the controller?
</div>


<div>
i dont see it on the network. Its not getting an IP. The controller fw is 8.1.111.0
</div>


noclav

<div>
If the AP isn't getting an IP I'd check your port config, etc. The AP should get an IP on boot.<br />
<br />
If it is running CAPWAP code you won't be able to SSH to it until after it joins the WLC (you have to enable it via the WLC). If you can SSH to it, it's running the Mobility Express image, so it will need converting to CAPWAP before it will join a WLC.

Wireless networking is a method by which homes, telecommunications networks and enterprise (business) installations avoid the costly process of introducing cables into a building, or as a connection between various equipment locations. Wireless telecommunications networks are generally implemented and administered using radio communication. This implementation takes place at the physical level (layer) of the OSI model network structure. The key hardware components of a wireless computer network include adapters, routers and access points, antennas and repeaters.

Wireless Hardware

Wireless networking is anything related to the transfer of data between two (or more) devices without the use of a physical connection, ranging from getting advice on a new Bluetooth headset to configuring sophisticated enterprise level networks.

Cisco PIX is a dedicated hardware firewall appliance; the Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) is a firewall and anti-malware security appliance that provides unified threat management and protection the PIX does not. Other Cisco devices and systems include routers, switches, storage networking, wireless and the software and hardware for PIX Firewall Manager (PFM), PIX Device Manager (PDM) and Adaptive Security Device Manager (ASDM).

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.
