Cisco Wireless :: What 113X AP Model Will Work In Autonomous And Lightweight Mode
Feb 4, 2013
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?
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.
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)
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 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 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.
we had a problem with a customer wlan in our warehouse (cannel overlapping). The troubleshoot needed a long time. For the future if requipred in case of problems i want to configure one access point in the warehouse as a scanner (please find picture in the attachement). The Autonomous cisco 1242 is now configured as scanner but i can't see any logfiles? Where can i find these informations. This is the cisco description of the scanner mode:Scanner—Functions as a network monitoring device. In the Scanner mode, the access point does not accept associations from clients. It continuously scans and reports wireless traffic it detects from other wireless devices on the wireless LAN. All access points can be configured as a scanner.
I am configuring a mobile van that is used for a mobile health clinic to drive to several locations and when pulling into an allocated parking spot the van will connect via wireless automatically. I am using autonomous 1252 AP's and am considering either briding or workgroup bridging.
The issue I am encountering is that the AP inside a van is a router that has to do DHCP across the wireless and because the ethernet interface between router and AP in the van never goes down the router does not know to re-DHCP. I remember from way back there was an IOS command to track a serial interface and drop the ethernet if the serial link goes down. Is there an equivalent command for AP's to drop the ethernet interface if the radio interfaces go down?
how to downgrade/upgrade AIR-LAP1142N-N-K9 access point to autonomous mode, because i don't have controller. i'm not able to login to access point as its in Leightweight mode.
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 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.
I am trying to have a setup where the AP running in autonomous mode also act dhcp server for the wireless clients.The only thing is that the vlan is switched across to the wired network.
So basically i am having 2 vlans, one for mgmt and other for data (for wireless clients) and both vlans are trunked to the switch. [CODE]...
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.
