I am not having much luck getting it converted via normal ways.
It times outs on TFTP server when you hold the mode button (a 3500 is working fine doing the same thing).
I try the old school way of archive download-sw but it isn't fast enough before it re-dhcp's because it can't find a controller. "*Mar 1 01:17:51.123: %CAPWAP-3-DHCP_RENEW: Could not discover WLC using DHCP IP. Renewing DHCP IP..' Even if I set a static IP address.
Is there way to disable the join process while I upgrade the software? I guess fire up a controller for it to join. I hope I don't have to have a controller to convert these.
I have an AIR-LAP1142 that I'm trying to load the autonomous software onto. I reset the AP with the mode button held down as per instructions. When I release, it attempts to download c1140-k9w7-tar.default from my pc running tftpd62. Several connections are made and then it eventually times out. I tried another machine (also win7 x64) and it fails there too exactly the same.
TFTP logs show:
Connection received from 10.0.0.1 on port 1024 [18/05 17:22:04.269] Read request for file <c1140-k9w7-tar.default>. Mode octet [18/05 17:22:04.270] Using local port 51686 [18/05 17:22:04.270]
I was trying to upgrade the IOS image of the AP and I did a wrong manip.
I downloaded the IOS image (ap801-rcvk9w8-tar.124-10b.JA3.tar) from my TFTP server to the flash of the AP. Everything went find so far. But than I did an archive archive download-sw /overwrite ap801-rcvk9w8-tar.124-10b.JA3.tar and my AP reboot in LWAPP mode.
I should have done: archive download-sw /overwrite tftp://10.0.0.1/ ap801-rcvk9w8-tar.124-10b.JA3.tar instead!
Now I don't how to go back to autonomous mode. archive commando is not available anymore in LWAPP mode.
Is 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.
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?
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 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)
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.
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.
I have an 2602 AP. Recently I tried to move it from one controller to another, however in doing so the image must have gotten corrupted. So no I'm in AP ROMMON. I can't find any recovery procedures specifically for the 2600's, but I what I did find doesn't seem to work :
ap: set IP_ADDR 10.4.208.3 ap: set NETMASK 255.255.255.0 ap: set DEFAULT_ROUTER 10.4.208.1
We have a campus with both office and industial areas with various propagation problems. Historically I have been installing and maintaining access points in the 1200 range, the latest being the 1242. All these have a similar antenna setup based on diversity pairs.Since Cisco seems to be dropping the old series any week now I have been looking at the 2602 as a replacement.I can find no good documentation on antenna selection and mounting suggestions for these.If I want a proper omni coverage pattern with dual band antennas, do I just set them to a H form assuming the unit is sitting on a wall?
We typically use the 2602 series AP in lightweight mode, however I have a scenario where we are going to be installing one with the stand-alone software. I understand that we will not be able to utilze certain features that you get with the WLC such as RRM, rogue detection, and clean air.
We do want to utilze both the 2.4GHZ and 5GHZ bands. In order to do this with the 2602 stand-alone AP, will we have to configure 2 separate SSID's? I really do not want to do this to if I do not have to to minimize confusion for clients.
i'm configuring a standalone AP 2602 with IOS 15.2.When i connect to AP from my notebook i only get 65Mb speed, when i connect to other APs from the notebook my speed connection 150-300Mb.
What configuration(CLI) do i need to be able to connect to the AP on connection speed to 130-450Mb ? Currently I connect to SSID with WPA2 encryption and "speed default" on radio 0 interface.
Instead of stocking every known AP and every external connector, I would like to query which APs to stock for general site surveys....
I have 2 customers that will require surveys in the near future...one plans on using the 2602e AP, and the other a 3602e AP. I have read somewhere that the 1140 makes an excellent proxy for the 2602 and several other Cisco APs (as the RF characteristics are similar) so that I only have to stock that one AP to use for those site surveys- but I haven't seen any recommendations about the 3600 series AP yet...
What AP to stock for doing Cisco site surveys? Maybe one or two models only?
I have a problem, where we are installing a Cisco 2602 access piont, the AP is getting power as the lights are on (changing colors Green, White, Red). In the switch side the LED for the interface is blinking green only when I chosse PoE. Also I cannot see the AP in CDP neighbours.
It seems to be a physical problem but the cable is tested and showing connected for all pairs and parallal (straight) connection.
Access Point was connected directly to the same interface (I mean with a patch cable to the switch) and working
it seams, that the mounting blade for the 1142 access point and the 2602 access point are identical.
We have ordered the new 2602 with internal antennas for deploying WLAN in a new building, but I never hold this accesspoint in my hands. We have a few mounting blades in spare from the 1142 accesspoint. The question is, can I prepare the mounting of the 2602 access point with the 1142 mounting blade?
I have several 2602 AP's that I want to operate in FlexConnect mode. The WLC is at a central HQ and the Ap's are remote. There are central radius servers at the HQ for the wlans. At the remote lcoation, there is a local radius server we want to use for the primary radius server for these AP's. This radius server has been added to the WLC. I have setup a FlexConnect Group, designated the the primary and secondary servers, and then added the AP's to the group. It does not look like radius requests are being sent to the local controller.
For this to work, do we have to check the box under the wlan for FlexConnect Local Auth? Currently, we only have FlexConnect local switching selected.
Cisco 1240AG converting to WEP to WPA Access Point Model: Cisco 1240AG System Software Filename: c1240-k9w7-tar.123-7.JA5 System Software Version: 12.3(7)JA5 Bootloader Version: 12.3(7)JA1 Access Point Model: Cisco 1131AG Software: Cisco Aironet Desktop Utility 2.1.02
After converting encryption from WEP to WPA in a Cisco 1240AG in personal mode with an SSID name of example1 and Cisco 1131AG access point in personal mode with an ssid of example2; both with the same wpa passphrase, I created a new profile on the Cisco Aironet Desktop Utility with a new profile name as well as a WPA passphrase, but the desktop utility will only connect to the access point if one network name, example1 or example2, is entered.
is this possible, i need to convert a 1242AG Autonomous back and forth this weekend to use for a quick project for testing. i need to do: take the AP into LWAPP mode (i know how to do this with the aironet utility) take the ap from LWAPP back into a AP mode so i can use it as my access point again.
