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 RelatedIs AP 1220B (b-only radio) supported for registration to WLC (7.0.x) with Lightweight software? I've managed to convert the AP to Lightweight mode, but I could not get it to register with WLC 2504 (software version 7.0). Is it possible that this AP is only supported if changing the in-built radio module?
In the compatibility matrix [URL] there is an information that this AP is supported on WLC up to version 7.0.x. On the other hand it is not supported by Autonomous to Lightweight Mode Upgrade Tool [URL] Since these APs does not have pre-installed MIC, it is mandatory for them to create Self-Signed Certificate (SSC). Upgrade tool could do this job (along with adding the created SSC hash to the authorized list on WLC), but it does not support this particular AP/radio. If I do the conversion manually (archive download-sw ...), the AP does not have the SSC needed for communication with WLC. I've tried making the SSC manually (instructions found on this site [URL] while AP is autonomous mode, and then converting it to Lightweight, but the AP still could not register to WLC.
In the debugs (on WLC/AP), I am receiving an error that is described in some Cisco troubleshooting documents as something related to WLC not having an SSC hash in the auth list. Problem is that the AP is not even sending standard CAPWAP messages and there is nothing to be seen in "debug pm pki enable" on WLC...
Customer of mine has 20 AP AIR-BR1310G-E-K9. No controller installed. He use them as Autonomous AP.
Right now ##he wants indroduce a WLC. Due to that every single AP must be converted in LAP AP.

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.

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 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:

The AP has defaulted to the 10.0.0.1 IP.

Coulple of Questions i Have,
1) In This New Access point i found only Radio0 -802.11N 2.4 Ghz & 5 Ghz , whether this Model AIR-AP1142N-N-K9 will Support 802.11G Adapters?
2) if Clients Comes up with 802.11 G Adapter will it Negotiate and Connect to it?, through out worldwide our network Wifi Clients used 802.11g network to Connect to wifi Network.
3) Also from Client PC is there a way to find what network adapter its running?
4) Correct me if i am wrong , if Client Laptops having G adapter, i Hope it will not Connect To Access point with N Adapter?
5) if these Access point Does not support G adapter, any way to upgrade or downgrade to other IOS to make this access point support G Adapters?
We have an 2504 wireless controller at the office with 5 LAP1142's. At another office we have a single AP1142 which doesn’t quite reach end to end. Ideally I want drop in another AP1142 to provide end to end coverage. Does AP1142 has a repeater mode? If not is there any way to make two AP1142's work with each other so they appear as a singular access point? Can they be configured to handle roaming?
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy APs 1142N don't join their WLC. APs and WLC management interface are in the same vlan (WLC can ping all the APs).

I was trying to do a password recovery on a 1142 AP but enable password did not reset and I am stuck
AP model is AIR-AP1142N-A-K9
Running IOS c1140-k9w7-mx.124-21a.JA1
Its autonomous so there is no controller. I renamed the config.txt file I am unable to rename or delete the private-config file. I get the message that file or directory cannot be found when i try to rename and permission denied when I try to delete it.
I installed two AIR-AP1142N-E-K9 access points, running a fairly simple config, WPA2 PSK, with AES cipher, both the same SSID.The two access points are connected to Cisco 2960G switches, which are in turn connected to each other, again without any fancy config options, no VLAN's ed.
After a random while, varying from 30 minutes to 15 hours, the access points will stop sending/recieving traffic on the ethernet interface.The units don't stop at the same moment, this also varies seemingly random. It's not related to load or the amount of clients (1 to 15).Only turning on one unit doesn't make any difference.
The units keep sending out their SSID, you can associate to them, but the DHCP requests aren't passed on to the DHCP server which is connected to one of the 2960G's.If you wirelessly connect to the AP and set a manual IP adress you can reach the webinterface and telnet/ssh to the access point. The ethernet link is reported as being up on the access point. Also the switch reports a link on the port to which the access point is connected.Resetting the link does have no effect. The log doesn't mention any errors or warnings.Power cycling or reloading the access point will put it back in working order for a varying amount of time.

I need to get a connection through a 3 storie structure.
On each floor, I have a cluster of servers set up. Conventionally, I would thread cat6 cables through the building but due to various reasons I cannot do that.
On the ground floor there are 2 ground lines which project a wireless signal.
I'm wondering, is there some way I can convert the wireless signal into an ethernet line? Perhaps through some kind of interfaced adapter. I've thought of buying a throwaway laptop and bridging the connections manually but I'd prefer to avoid that option if there are feasiable alternatives.
