Cisco Wireless – Overview of Cisco Wireless Controller 2504

ciscowireless

I've very green with cisco devices so I apologize upfront should this be a 'silly' question.

I've setup a cisco 2504 wireless controller (WLC) and enabled the DHCP server feature so I could distribute IPs to any devices connected to it.
The WLC is not connected to a WAN; only LAN devices are connected.

When I connect my computer to the WLC to configure it, I am able to access it through the web interface and send ping packets.
When I then connect a cisco AP to the WLC, both the AP and the computer fail to communicate with the WLC.
Basically, only 1 device can be connected to the WLC at any given time.

Can anyone help me get to the bottom of this please ?

Regards and thanks in advance,
J

For anyone unable to connect a cisco access point in lightweight mode to the Wireless controller, this did the trick for me:

Step 1
Follow these steps to disable the 802.11a and 802.11b/g networks as follows: a. Choose Wireless> 802.11a/n > Network. b. Unselect the 802.11a Network Status check box. c.
Click Apply to commit your changes. d. Choose Wireless > 802.11b/g/n > Network. e. Unselect the 802.11b/g Network Status check box. f. Click Apply to commit your changes.

Step 2
Choose Wireless > Country to open the Country page

Step 3
Select the check box for each country where your access points are installed. If you selected more than one check box, a message appears indicating that RRM channels and power levels are limited to common channels and power levels.

Step 4
Click OK to continue or Cancel to cancel the operation.

Step 5
Click Apply to commit your changes.

Step 6
Reenable the 802.11a and 802.11b/g networks
