how to convert a 3502 access point from Autonomous to Lightweight ? 3502 has a new IOS released back in Dec 2012 to work as staandalone mode. I need to convert this back to Lightweight mode.
I have been searching on web but have had no luck so far with anything. Tried converting it to lightweight in the same way as putting it on Autonomous IOS but errored out.
How to upgrade C3502i to Lightweight? I failed to upgrade using Upgrade tool v3.4. The error message is "AP model is not supported" . how can I upgrade it?

Is it possible to convert an Autonomous AP 2602i to Lightweight just changing firmware as the first generation Aironet APs?
View 2 Replies View RelatedApparently converting autonomous 1142N to lightweight is not supported by ether WCS 7.0 or the Upgrade tool. The option is to do it manually with CLI, but there is about 200+ AP's that need converting. We can't do them all at the same time. We have to do it building per building.

I rolled back to the autonomous OS and all ok and AP operates as normal. When on the lightweight IOS I can get a telnet response but cannot access as it states Password require but not set.
Followed this process to upgrade [URL] and followed this process to restore to Autonomous: [URL] why it's not working.
Update: Just tried another AP same result. Downloaded Lightweight again and same result
Here is the CLI upgrade process

is there any issue in buying air-ap1142n-ek9 802.11A/G/N FIXED AUTO AP INT ANT and later on converting it into lightweight under the control of air-ct2504-15k9 2504 WIRELESS CONTROLLER WITH 15 AP LICENSES ?Are there any requirements on the SW of the WLC and the IOS of the AP? The reason of the choice is budget.
View 1 Replies View RelatedThis is one of our first site where we are implementing Cisco wireless, and we bought some external Autonomous AP1262, when we should have bought Lightweight LAP1262 . We can get those replaced, but I am looking into migrating them in order to get them to register with our 5508 controllers.
There do not seem to be a migration tool to download for 1262. Must it be done via the WCS ?So far I have not managed to add these autonomous AP to the controllers. How to know if a migration toll exists for those !
I have a Cisco WLC 5508 managing several 1252s in lightweight mode. There is a portable across campus that has a standalone network but no cabling to tie in to the corporate network. I have another 1252 that is in autonomous mode. Could I essentially configure that as a bridge with the same security and SSID in order to bridge the corporate WLAN? If not, what are my options?

View 11 Replies View RelatedI have some 1242s and I can't get a straight answer on whether they can do both autonomous and lightweight or just lightweight.
Model number: AIR-LAP1242AG-A-K9.
I'm assuming that the 'L' in the model numbers means it's just lightweight, but searching Cisco's site and the Internet in general it's just not clear.
I know it works as a lightweight AP, can I run it in autonomous mode?
I cannot TFTP this tar file to both 1230 and 1231 APs. Both are lightweight APs that I've wiped to the rommon mode (ap>) and I issue the command:
tar -xtract c1200/k9w7-mx.123-8.JA 10.0.0.2
And I get a error saying: "permission denied"
Notes:
The AP has defaulted to the 10.0.0.1 IP.
My laptop is set to 10.0.0.2 255.255.255.0 IP
My TFTP-Server is on and the root folder with the .tar file is in there.
ether_init, flash_init, tftp_init (these commands have been executed)
My firewall is disabled.
I keep getting the following error "Could not execute JDBC batch update" when trying to add AP to WCS ... other 1240 APs added without any problems.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am in the process of deploying 3502i APs. This site has 2 - 5508 WLCs both running Software version 7.0.220.0 and 2 - 4402 WLCs both running the same version of software as the 5508s. All of the APs that I have installed so far have joined the controller and I can associate to them and access the network. When the APs first are connected to the switch they go through the 'normal' boot up with the LED changing colors - white, red, green, blue (not necessarily in that order). Once the AP has completed its boot sequence the LED goes out and remains NOT lit.
This is happening to most but not all of the APs. This is the first time I have deployed 3502s - previous experience is with 1142s and 1242s and the LED does not do this with them.
I can, through the CLI, turn the LED on but it is then ALWAYS blue, even if a device is NOT associated to it.
I do not want to leave them off because the account will believe they have a 'dead' AP and with them always blue they cannot properly troubleshoot using the LED.
In an idle situation how much area is covered by a cisco 3502i acceccpoint , I understand there are many factor that will effect this , thats why I am adking in idle situation , I am looking for a number is square feet.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a customer with several older Aironet 1121G WAP's. In one area of the plant the noise levels from several large motors is preventing reliable connection to the WAP, even though it is located in the same conference room as the users. I am suggesting upgrading the 1121G to the 3502I to take advantage of the Clean Air technology. This raises two questions:
1) Will a single 3502I be able to effectively handle the RF noise, or does it require a network of WAPs to function properly?
2) Does the 3502I require the CT2504 controller for the Clean Air to work, or will it function in a stand alone mode?
When we were installing some new APs, were plugged in to ports that were not configured on the WLC management VLAN.
This is the illustration
WLC management VLAN is VLAN 80 Management VLAN of infrastructure (Switches routers) is VLAN 10
The APs were plugged in to VLAN 10 and they were not able to associate themselves with the controllers.
Through research, those APs were getting a wrong IP address,
I did the Mode button, pressed for 30 secs, but this did not fix the problem, i thought it was going to clean the flash and bring the AP back to factory default I do not believe this happened.
We also added the cisco-capwap-controller.localdomain to our DNS servers, and then I rebotted the APs and still no luck.
What fixed the issue is we had to go to the DHCP server, release the IP addresses and we found those based on the macs of the APs. What is we do not have the mac addresses?
Now that I have the DNS entry created, if I plug in an AP on the wrong VLAN port will I be able to see it?
I have AP which is not connected to switch.I console it and it gives error unable to to get IP from WLC.Need to know is there any way that i can go to command prompt of this AP without getting IP from WLC? I tried control + c etc it does not go to command prompt.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have a 3502i(AP_1) that will not join a 5508 WLC(WLC_1)(code 7.2.103). The 3502i(AP_1) will join 4402 WLC(WLC_2)(Code 7.0.230). I have another 3502i(AP_2) that will join the WLC_1 & WLC_2. I am using capwap discover through DNS and hard coding the primiary WLC to AP_1 & AP_2. When I debug capwap events and errors, I see the static capwap messages and replies. Both of the WLC are on the same subnet. I have defauted the AP_1 and it joins the CISCO-CAPWAP-CONTROLLER as expected. When I change the Primiary WLC to WLC_1 it goes back to the CISCO-CAPWAP-CONTROLLER. If i change the primiary WLC to WLC_2 it joins. If I change the primiary back to WLC_1 it joins WLC_2 even though it is not a secondary. I know the previous joined WLC are stored in NVRAM, so that might be why it is doing that. I can join other ap to WLC_1 just not this one.

I am having a Wism on 6500 chassis with software code 7.2.103.0 Now......... I use to have 7.2.111.3 on the Wism before but for some reason I had to downgrade the code to an older version (some compatibility issues with the NCS)......
Now before all the APs were having 7.2.111.3 version running as soon as I downgraded the controller IOS most of them downgraded the code but a few still did not show up...... so I picked one of them and did a factory reset on the AP and was guessing that it might get the new code from the controller this way but unfortunately since than I have tried a lot of things but no luck. I have switches configured on layer 3..... other APs connected to this switch are working fine,........ when I reset the AP to factory default it doesnot take an IP obviously so I manually define the IP,,, you would find that configuration below too.... but than after a while it trys to locate the controller and could not find it.... where as, as i said other APs on teh same switch works fine......
the only thing i notice is that it does not release the IOS .. it is still having 7.2.111.3.....

ddr init done

This problem only seems to affect one of our sites. Every once in a while, several APs would lose link to the 5508 and get stranded. The only way to fix the issue is either to power cycle, or better yet SSH into the APs and use the command "capwap ap controller ip address x.x.x.x", and then they'd automatically rejoin the controller. At first, I thought network hiccups caused the APs to lose connectivity, but there's none that I could find. I have the primary/secondary controller IPs configured in them as well. See log below:

I have a WLC2106 and AP3502i. The issue that I am having is the radio for 5GHz is not showing up in "Wireless > 802.11a/n" (see attached screenshot) I am not exactly sure what was the problem. When I went to 802.11b/g/n I do see an entry for 2.4Ghz radio, but nothing on 5GHz.
I have the AP plugged directly to my 3550POE, and when I used the command "show power inline" it says that the switch is providing 15.4W and there is still 345W remaining on the switch. The LED on the AP is solid green. I issued a no shutdown on dot11radio1 and the status is up/up, but there is still no entry under "Wireless > 802.11a/n"
how can i upgrade to Mini IOS Version 7.3.1.73 on the AIR-CAP 3502I. we some that have Mini IOS Version 7.3.1.73 and some that have Mini IOS Version 7.0.112.74. want them all the same.
