I have AP AIR-AP1231G-E-K9 with iOS c1200-k9w7-tar.123-7.JA2 and I want to convert it to Lightweight Mode with iOS image c1200-rcvk9w8 tar.124-21a.JA2. First of all, is it possible? Because I tried to convert from tftp server command (archive download-sw /overwrite /reload tftp://ipaddress/image.tar) and I cannot see in the controller. (controller and aps are in the same network)
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.
Is it possible to convert a 1041 in Autonomous AP mode to Lightweight? Since on the cco page there is no upgrade tool under the 1040 series AP,and also i didnt find any document with the procedure.
What 113X AP model will work in Autonomous and LightWeight Mode? I want to buy some 113X AP's for my lab and want to make sure I don't get stuck with the ones that only run in one mode. I am looking at buying this one AIR-AP1131AG-N-K9 802.11a/b/g. Will this model work in both modes?
I recently setup our small office network using the following setup:
Cablemodem <--> router <--> 1231AP(role root bridge with wireless clients) <-> 1231AP(role non-root bridge with wireless clients)Code on both APs: 12.3(8)JEE.Office network generally has less than 3 wireless clients connected at any one time to either AP. AP's are a mere 50' apart; clients are all less than 30' from either AP; they all show excellent signal and connected at 54mbps signaling rates.
All is/has been working very well & very stable with the exception of speed. We have business class service from RR, approx 25mbps dl, 2mbps ul. Any hardwired client to the router switch ports are able to download at speeds averaging 23mbps. Any wireless client connected to either AP is never able to exceed download speeds of 5mbps. With no other wireless clients connected except my one test client, I was not able to exceed 5mbps throughput from either AP that I connected to.
I can confirm that the ethernet connection between the router and root bridge is up at 100mbps-FD and not showing any errors: [code]
Are these very slow thoughput speeds normal of this hardware combination?I did much searching/googling and found claims that by eliminating TKIP it almost doubles the actual wireless speeds our clients can obtain.
I have Cisco 1131 & 1300 Light Weight Acces Points and I have 5508 WLAN controller. If i enable the wlan controller internal DHCP Server can this access points will work with this internal DHCP server or do i need to configure DHCP option 43 for these access points? Can these access points works with LWAPP or do i need to configure CAPWAP?
I am having some difficulties on finding information on how to setup two Cisco 1252 autonomous access points, via the command line. I am not having any luck finding steps on how to go about doing this and was curious if any one would be willing to give some insight. I am working on taking two of them setting one up as the root bridge and the other as non-root.
I had a new AIR-AP1042N-N-K9 access point and I tried to convert it into lightweight mode with the image c1140-rcvk9w8-tar.124-21a.JA2.tar . I used all the methods but the AP is getting hanged at one position after decompressing the new IOS. The capture of the process is below: [code] After this I am getting the junk characters and everytime AP hangs at this position.
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.
Apparently 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.
Doing the firmware upgrade on a 1041n AP from Autonomous to Lightweight. Downloaded from Cisco, checked MD5 and got a match so went and upgraded. Upgrade went find etc.. and rebooted. When I reboot I get the following error and then rubbish text
DDR values used from system serial eeprom. WRDTR,CLKTR: 0x83000800, 0xc0000000 RQDC, RFDC : 0x80000037, 0x0000018a PCIE0: link is up. PCIE0: VC0 is active PCIE1: link is NOT up.
[code]...
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
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.
This 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?
I have several AP's of 1131 AG used in autonomous mode. Recently one of them stops responding: i was not able to access web management or ping its NIC. I've tried with reseting device to default but no success, even more when i plug ethernet cable to AP port nothing happens even NIC led's are not blinking at all.
On CLI console i am seeing repeated constantly such entries:
*Mar 1 05:19:04.086: %LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface BVI1, changed state to up *Mar 1 05:19:05.086: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface BVI1, changed state to up
[Code].....
( i have new firmware but how to upload it without this interface running ? )
I am trying to build a bridge between two of my access points. Both the access points connected to the wireless controller. I have changed the AP mode to "Bridge" after changing the power to custom.
The access points have both rebooted - but never "joined" the controller again. I have checked on the following pdf.
[URL]
One thing I can see - if I run a ping to the last IP.. every now and again I get a single response then it drops again. Via the console on the access point I can see it's getting to the controller, getting its name then reading something that caught my eye
" *Apr 4 11:41:24.451: %CAPWAP-3-ERRORLOG: Go join a capwap controller *Apr 4 11:41:19.000: %CAPWAP-5-DTLSREQSEND: DTLS connection request sent peer_ip: 57.24.10.53 peer_port: 5246
we have a couple of AP1262N-E-K9 access point with firmware version 12.4(25d)JA1 operating in autonmous mode.
I attempted to measure the signal quality between the APs by setting one device to repeater mode while all others are in root mode. Then, I execute the following command: dot11 Dot11Radio 0 antenna-alignment
1. The output of "show dot11 antenna-alignment" is incorrect, the % value represents the signal strength in dBm without the - (minus). E.g. "-25 dBm" is displayed as "Signal 25% 0 dBm".Now, I know that is only a display error but still this is not clean. Is this a known issue?
2. Why are the measured signal strength values not displayed on the SSH console during the antenna-alignment test? Is it obligatory to use the console to see these values? Or is it also a known bug which might be fixed in later firmware versions?
I 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 need to upgrade several 1252s from autonomous to LWAPP. I have not been able to find the upgrade tool for 1250s or instructions for CLI upgrade. I wil be using NCS to do final configuration once the APs come online.
I am attempting to upgrade my 1261n's to lightweight but the upgrade tool (3.4) is telling me that it is not compatible with this model AP. Is there an article or quick run down on what I need to do to upgrade these AP's?
i need to change the IOS in a Ligthwiegth Access point and make it work as an Autonomus AP 1242. I have got the image but im not realy clear about the process. I got to enter the Ligthwiegth Access point true the console port but i dont know how is the upgrading process.
We purchased some 3502e's and I was told we could set them up as automous ap's to do a site survey. however i haven't come across much online for instructions. i saw one post that mentioned downloading code for another ap model - i think a 1260, but we don't have rights for such a download.
I’m configuring a Cisco 1142n AP in autonomous mode. The networking part is successfully working, multiple VLANs, SSIDs etc. I would like to configure one of my wireless networks to work with WAP2-PSK and the other with WPA-PSK.I’m confused as to what encryption to set on each radio and the ciphers to use on the SSID for each vlan to enable the best possible security. I’m not using a RADIUS sever in my network .point me in the right direction with the right CLI commands?
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.
