I do have 1131 LWAPP in home, i was wondering if i can convert to Autonomous . I read in the documentation, that only way is to use with controller. can i convert without connecting to WLC .
View 1 RepliesIs the process for converting 1260 APs to lightweight mode any different from converting 1140s or 1250s? I've converted several APs to LWAP mode but this is my first 1260. Four 1260s need to be converted.I have one in a remote location that seems to be comatose. Here are the steps I took to convert the AP. Did skip/miss a step?
1. uploaded code to the AP ap3g1-rcvk9w8-tar.152-2.JB.tar
2. configured the AP for DHCP. It successfully leased a DHCP address. Controller information is provided via DHCP Option 43.
3. saved the configuration
4. verified the code, successful
5. disabled wireless radios
6. installed the lightweight code using the command archive download-sw /safe flash:/ap3g1-rcvk9w8-tar.152-2.JB.tar.The installation was successful
7. rebooted the AP
After that nothing. The AP has not leased another IP address. The switchport is active. The APs MAC address is registering in the switches MAC address table. The AP is receiveing PoE from the switch. I noticed that this AP is only receiving 6.2W of power where the three are getting anywhere between 8.8W and 9.3W. I am unable to ping the old static IP of the AP too.
I have 1042 Light weight AP and i want to convert it to Autonomous mode . i dont find any particular image for this conversion ..when i try to find autonomous image for 1040 its showing "c1140-k9w7-tar.124-25d.JA1.tar"........can i use this image ?...

So I'd like to know if the one AP can support the network traffic if whole testers transfer the data to Database via this wireless AP1262? and the WLC no clients roaming option for which clients can connect to another AP around. I have checked the WLC and AP configuration. no option for clients roaming to another APs, do you know how to configure this AP's Clients move to another APs?If we setup the new APs in the location, does the clients will be auto connect to this new AP?

Right now ##he wants indroduce a WLC. Due to that every single AP must be converted in LAP AP.
is this action free of charge ? Nedd I SMARTENT COVERAGE ?
One of my customers asked me to configure a WLC 2106 and 2 LAP 1131AG (lightweight) for corporate/guest Wifi. Basically they want to implement a good wifi connection for internal use and a guest one with different QoS. The two lans should both have dhcp but they must bet kept segregated so that none from the Guest wifi can access corporate resources.
Since i've never configured a WLC from scrath i lightly supposed it would be quite straigh forward as routers and switches from Cisco.Unfortunately i was totally wrong.
I've downloaded the "Cisco Wireless LAN ControllerConfiguration Guide" (Soft.Release 6.0 June 2009) and after i red it i made up this workflow
for the configurations:
1) Configure Controller: (via serial)
- Set Management Interface parameters (IP- SM - Def GW - Dhcp server IP)
- Set Ap-Manager Interface parameters
- Virtual Interface parameters
- Set Admin Credentials
- Dhcp Configuration (internal and/or external)
2) Ap registration on the controller
- Configure vlan with dhcp request redirection to the dhcp server
3) Configure Wlan following customer's requests.
- Configure Wlan Auth for Corporate/Guest Wifi
- Configure QoS for both Wlans
Unfortunately i'm experiencing issue while trying joining the AP to the WLC.It appers that the IT guy of my customer tried to configure one of the Ap.In that Ap's flash i find files referring to a "mesh" configuration like: [code]
When I tried to download software for WLC44xx, I noticed both mesh and standard software releases. Do I need to keep seperate controller for mesh APs?.
WLC with standard sw can not handle mesh APs?
i have a air-lap01131-ag-e-k9 that was originally in lightweight mode and configured with a controller, but i am in the process of wanting to convert to autonomous mode, i am having issues with connectivity to the AP from my laptop.
i have followed numerous guides on this forum, i have successfully
downloaded correct firmware
renamed the firmware to .default
placed this in root of tftp server folder
connected laptop via console to view output
connected laptop via Ethernet to Ethernet port of AP
changed static ip on laptop to 10.0.0.2 set subnet mask to 255.255.255.0, default gateway to 10.0.0.1
held reset button on AP when applying power and waiting for radio light to flash red
AP gets a IP address then of 10.0.0.1
But even though both laptop and AP are in the same subnet, i am unable to ping the AP from my laptop and it doesn't start the tftp process
I have disabled firewall etc, and tried with both crossover and straight through cable, it seems there is something missing at this last stage, i even tried on a second laptop but that would not ping either, am i missing something.
My access point 1042 series in light weight mode reloads itselft every time it booting, sometimes it boot succesfully.

I have noticed a new image : c1140-k9w7-tar.124-25d.JA.tar
I don't see a way to replace the image in flash ?
we have 1262 (AIR-LAP1262N-E-K9) and we dont have WLC..and i want to convert it to Autonomous mode..i did the below steps... with using this file (ap3g1-k9w7-tar.152-2.JB.tar) download it from Cisco site. Step 1 The static IP address of the PC on which your TFTP server software runs should be between 10.0.0.2 and 10.0.0.30. Step 2 Make sure that the PC contains the access point image file (such as c1200-k9w7-tar.122-15.JA.tar for a 1200 series access point) in the TFTP server folder and that the TFTP server is activated. Step 3 Set the timeout value on the TFTP server to 30 seconds. Step 4 On the PC where the TFTP server is located, perform these steps.
View 48 Replies View RelatedAt the present, we have two WLCs (5508). There are a total of 84 LAPs (1242AG). One controller is configured as the master controller in which all our APs associate to. It's currently running software version 7.0.116.0 and some of our BYODs using Windows 8 are unable to connect to the wireless. The fix for this is to upgrade the software of the WLC so that the LAPs can obtain the update to solve this problem. Simple! However, before rolling this out into the production wireless network, I would like to test it out on our second WLC which has no LAP associations, a test WLAN configured, and a newer software image loaded (7.4.100.0). I have a spare LAP that was previously associated with the master controller running the same software version (7.0.116.0). What I'm looking to do is associate this LAP to the 2nd WLC instead of the master so that I can ensure that the LAP gets the newest software. Then, I would like to test a Windows 8 device to make sure it connects.So far, I have done the following:
1. Disabled the 1st WLC from using Master Controller Mode and rebooted AP - result was unsuccessful; still associated to 1st WLC.
2. Reset LAP configuration excluding static IP info and reset AP - result was unsuccessful; still associated to 1st WLC.
3. Compared config for both WLC but since I'm new to these devices, I'm not sure what needs to be configured/changed.
I have been installing Light Weight AP's and these make LMS device discovery take much longer because they are found via CDP but do not run SNMP. So you suffer the SNMP retry and wait time for each one which adds up with several hundred AP's. I added the CDP platform description they announce via CDP to system-config.xml but this didn't do the trick. I have updated system-config.xml successfully in the past to add ATA's and 7936 conference phones and this stopped discovery from processing these devices. So I was surprised when this didn't work for LW AP's. The CDP platform of the AP's looks like this (from show cdp n):
Platform: cisco AIR-CAP3502E-A-K9 , Capabilities: Trans-Bridge
So you can see cisco is all lower case and there appears to be spaces at the end before the comma. I thought the spaces might be the problem so I added them in system-config.xml but this didn't work. When I display system-config.xml with the XML editor in IE it does not show spaces at the end even though they are their when I look at the file with notepad. When I enable debug for discovery it shows these being added to the bypass table for CDP discovery but it still tries to process them. This is LMS 3.2 on Windows Server 2003. I use the CDP module for discovery.
We have a WLAN consisting of a WLC 4402 and 11 lightweight APs. For security/compliance reasons we have a Cisco PIX firewall that sits between the WLC (outside) and the APs (inside). The APs are allowed to form LWAPP tunnels through the firewall (inside access-list) to the WLC and the WLAN works as expected.The firewall then limits traffic from the WLAN (outside access list) to certain the internal systems.I have noticed that every so often the firewall logs show continuous "Land attack from 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0" messages then all APs are disconnected (all lights flash).

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have an AP(1131) that keeps disassociating from the controller. It stays alive for about 10 mins then it doens't work anymore. I tired changing the AP but that didn't make a difference. I also tried changing the port on your 500 POE switch. My last effort to fix it was to put the AP on a 3550 switch with a power injector. Still no luck.
I don't understand why its doing this. I am able to connected to it and surf the internet for about 10 mins. After that It leaves the controller and just cycles through different colors.
We have recently converted 1 Cisco Lightweight AP 1041 to Autonomous mode for site-survey purposes. We now want to convert it back to lightweight mode.

View 17 Replies View RelatedI have 10 Access-Point model 1131 AG are new AP.
When I connect the access-Point to the network, the AP associate only one time but i go to wireless for see the AP, i can see downloading of IOS, but the ios is 3.0.59, the ap don not nothing. I can not change any parameters.
I have this issue regarding the 1131 Access Points. These access points were fat access points from the factory and were applied with LAP ios so that they can join our controller. We have 2 controllers 5108 for Internal network office use and a seperate 2125 for Guest internet both these are physically seperate networks. These AP's have been working fine since say like 8-9 months and suddenly they started giving problems. The status light keeps changing colour and the AP does not join the controller 2125. Whenever i am connecting this ap to our internal network it joins the controller 5508 and works fine but somehow does not register with our 2125 guest controller. This issue is being faced by one of our client. Could this be an issue due to the ap being loaded with lap ios or does it have anything to do with the different software version fo the controllers as i could not find any things regarding this.

The switch shows the AP under sho cdp niegh but when I go to the controller and look at AP neigh nothing shows up. I am currently running a WLC 4404 with 4.2.209 ( yes the upgrade happens tomorrow ).
why the switch shows the neigh. but not the AP when looking from the controller?
I have to make a design for 150 sites, the large sites (40) will be controller based designs.But for the small sites (110) contains 3 APs, which will not have a controller onsite.

I have here a couple of APs with c1130-k9w7-mx.124-25d.JA1 loaded as firmware.
I want to configure them with 2 SSID: 1 encrypted, 1 public. Each should go to its own vlan, and thus should have a trunk towards the switch.
My wireless experience approaches zero however, and I cannot get the APs to even send out an unencrypted public SSID.

We're in the process of upgrading our Wireless AP's from autonomus to LWAP. We're doing the upgrades remotely (we have 100's of sites to do, and it's not possible to be there to console on to each one), using a local computer to upgrade them to LWAP's with the Cisco Upgrade Tool.Having some inconsistent bugs pop up though from time to time.The most common one is that it basically buggers up the IP address after applying the recovery firmware image. It's supposed to keep the IP it had according to the IPFile.txt (for example 172.25.25.4), but it does something very weird... it keeps the last two octets (so 25.4 from the e.g) but replaces the first two octets with a 192.168 address. So the final address in this example after the UpgradeTool has done its work, is 192.168.25.4 - which is compeltely wrong.
This causes it to be unable to talk to the WLC (obviously, with bogus IP information it will struggle), and gives us big problems in that it wont ever come up unless someone can console to the AP and fix it. We can usually resolve the issue by munging about on the switch - switching the port it's connected to between access and trunk and doing some shut/noshut cycles seems to do the trick mostly.
I recently had to deploy about 4 cisco 1131 AP's to one of our branch location. When configuring them on the controller, i needed to put them in HREAP mode. As soon as i do that and the AP needs to reboot, it will continue to reboot in a loop and indicate the following:

I have WLC 4402 with software IOS 5.2.157.0 and i am planing to upgrade the sofware to the latest one (7.0.235.0)
now my question are :
1 - is that software version will support APs [AIR LAP 1131 AG-E-K] ?
2- on down load page there 2 files :
a) Cisco Unified Wireless Network Controller Boot Software 7.0 for Cisco 4400 Series Wireless LAN Controllers.
b) Cisco Unified Wireless Network Software Release 7.0 for Cisco 4400 Series Wireless LAN Controllers. which file i need to upload on my WLC 4402
I have some questions about this AP and it's IOS. I have some AP's 1131 and they have IOS 12.34(3g) JA I'm working with a 4402 WLC I'm going to change this WLC for one 5508 but this WLC has a different version software it has 7.2.103. My questions is I need to do any upgrade to my AP's IOS for join to the new WLC ?
I found a compatibility Matrix, in this document I guess i nedd to do some upgrade: URLs
The WGB can be any autonomous access point that supports the workgroup bridge mode and is running Cisco IOS Release 12.4(3g)JA or later releases (on 32-MB access points) or Cisco IOS Release 12.3(8)JEB or later releases (on 16-MB access points). These access points include the AP1120, AP1121, AP1130, AP1231, AP1240, and AP1310. Cisco IOS releases prior to 12.4(3g)JA and 12.3(8)JEB are not supported.
