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 of which are the vlan for WLC - that it would find the controller. -----Original Message----- From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU] On Behalf Of Britton Anderson Sent: Wednesday, July 22, 2015 12:38 PM To: WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU Subject: Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Cisco AIR-CAP2702E could not discover WLC 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 that's how it goes...

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 cable - enable -> Cisco * Type: capwap ap controller ip address w.x.y.z (in a few seconds the AP will start firmware upgrade - AP flashing blue) * When you get the usual "Not in Bound state" error, login to the CLI Uesrname: Cisco, Password: Cisco * enable -> Cisco * Type: clear lwapp private-config (AP will now start chatting to wism w.x.y.z) Apologies if this is not the same issue but if it is it will save you an awful lot of time trying to figure it out. We also saw the issue Jezz mentioned with two MAC addresses. That was easier to overcome!

Either IP address is not assigned or assigned IP is wrong. Renewing DHCP IP. It will receive an IP address, and then continue this error message and keep trying to renew DHCP IP. I can connect a AIR-CAP2702I to the same PoE switch and it connects flawlessly. I'm not sure why the 2702I will work and not the 2702E.
