This sounds very much like the problem we had with 20+ 2702I-E-K9 APs.
It's a bug in the firmware - no idea how it got through testing...
We had to serially config them all by hand - very painful.
Process was...
- Get MAC address of AP into your DHCP server
- Boot AP
- Using serial
I had that issue with 1702.
Solution from TAC was to ssh to AP:
Debug capwap console cli
Capwap ap controller ip address {IP_of_WLC}
It works, but as you say, massively annoying.
There is a suspicion that having the AP come up in the same vlan as the WLC -
my aps are in 4 different vlans, none
Not with 2702's but 3702's, we had a batch come in enabled in Bridge mode
out of the box. In which case you have to login to your controller and add
the MAC address in the filter to allow it to associate. Then let it
download the image, then change the mode.
Massively annoying, but sometimes
Hi,
We’ve had an issue with AIR-CAP2702I’s doing this, the issue was they were
presenting 2 MAC addresses, the one on the sticker, and the next on in the
sequence; it’s this next in sequence which was requesting DHCP.
We had to register two MACs for each AP for DHCP. Once the AP has updated
Hey Deb,
You may also want to review this.

Maybe all you need is to add option 43 with the hex of the ip address for the
controller. Hope this helps you.

It would be interesting to hear why you wouldn't make eduroam your primary

These interviewees are from eduroam enabled Universities and Colleges from

We are doing dual-SSID enrollment, so anyone who configures their
device to work on our branded SSID will also be configured to work on
eduroam. While this doesn't help get the word out, it does mean if
people travel with their device, it should just connect automatically
and start working.

What is the support status of eduroam and 802.11u?
That might address some SSID related issues.

William,

it is ready. Interoperability and readiness of campuses and equipment might
take some time though.
Indeed, PassPoint/HotSpot2.0 (802.11u is now part of 802.11) will address SSID
related issues!
Best,
We may eventually move towards only setting up eduroam for personal devices,
but we plan on keeping our branded SSID around for domain machines. We need it
to handle machine authentication, rather than having it only work on our local
eduroam SSID and throwing off noise anywhere else.
2702s have had a number of issues, both I and E models depending on when they
were manufactured. There were a couple of months where APs were getting a bad
image. I haven't seen many I models lately, but E models don't get sold in as

Hello Matt,
Good question! (and hard to deal with)
We have encountered 3 ways so far (if anyone has others, please share) to deal
with the eduroam SSID overlap issue.

eduroam presentations)
1) Have a SSID in the
Not sure if this will help at all.
With Cisco the surface will not connect to a secure SSID with PMF dot1x
set as optional.
We had to disable PMF dot1x and only use dot1x.
There are some strange issues with the wireless on the Surface.

Always many factors to consider when selecting or changing a primary ssid. If
you are considering eduroam as your primary ssid, you may want to consider if
