• to convert 1142N AP autonomous lightweight access point

  Hello

  I have 4 1142N access points are all points of light access. Because I don't have a controller, I need to convert to standalone AP.

  I went through document cisco 1142, where it is mentioned that "the access point 1142 doesn't have the default IP address"

  I know procedure to convert offline in which I need to connect ap to the TFTP 10.0.0.1 with the ip address by default, but as for 1142, we do not have the default ip address. What is the procedure to convert offline?

  I have to assign a pool in one of the local switch and connect the ap to these switches with vlan, so she will receive the IP address of the DHCP server?

  But how can we without default IP address? I wonder about this...

  If I did not turn on where I can assign pool dhcp... what should I do?

  Please suggest me to convert 1142 standalone AP ap...

  I will be thankful to get the right answer...

  Hi Vinod,

  Here's the resolution...

  The image that is on the device's LWAPP, not the autonomous... If you want to use the AP in stand-alone mode, then the image must be W7...  It's...

  C1140-k9w7 - tar.124 - 21A .JY .tar not c1140-rcvk9w8 - tar.124 - 23c.JA.tar

  Please feel free to download any image from the below link and perform the conversion of image LWAPP to stand alone...

  the methos to convert is...

  Download TFTPd32 of google and install it on your PC... point of the image that you downloaded on the TFTP server.

  Connect a cable ethernet between your notebook and AP... both should be on the same subnet... Connect a cable from the console and access the hyperterminal console with the command... Make sure that you are able to ping the PC and AP and vice versa!

  AP > en

  AP #debug lwapp console cli or debugging console cli capwap

  T AP #config

  AP (confg) int FA 0

  AP(confg-IF) ip addr (same subnet as the laptop)

  End AP(confg-IF)

  Force - reload DOWNLOAD - AP #archieve sw / overwrite tftp: / /<10.0.0.5>/c1140-k9w7-tar.124-21a.JY.tar

  The above command will do it for you!

  I have controller Wireless LAN that is installed at the head office, we have allowed H-harvest so that the remote access can be registered with headquarters controller.

  Now, I have an access point to one of the remote site now, I want to give a static IP address to the AP through that console too, before saving the controller.

  I have the console with sub name:

  ...... MAC address... >

  But if I type any command to assign the IP address, it displays the error "command disabled."

  I join calrification details.

  I know that I can connect to this access point to the headquarters LAN and registered with WLC and then via WLC GUI, I can assign static IP address, but I need solution to assign a static until you save to WLC IP not.

  I thought that I had ordered a 1130ag but looks like I ordered a 1131ag LWWAP.

  Please could someone tell me what the difference between a 1130 and 1131. I understand I can load the IOS on the light AP software using a tftp server, but I do not know which exit to load on this subject. 12.3JX, 12.3JA, 12.3JEA, 12.3JEB! can anyone help please? either by the way, I am in the United Kingdom, do not know if this affects image to install. Thank you.

  Hi Paul,.

  This happens all the time, so it shouldn't be a problem :) I'm guessing that you have received this AP - AIR - LAP1131AG - x - K9 LWAPP. When you really wanted this AP - AIR-AP1131G-x-K9 Cisco IOS software. Look at the comparison;

  http://www.Cisco.com/en/us/products/ps6087/products_data_sheet0900aecd801b901c.html

  That being said, you should be good to go with 12.3 (11) JA1.

  To access Cisco Aironet to Cisco IOS version 12.3 Points (11) JA1

  http://www.Cisco.com/en/us/docs/wireless/access_point/iOS/release/notes/b11jar1n.html

  Cisco IOS version 12.3 (11) JA1 supports 32 MB independent platforms. 16 MB platforms and platforms supported by Cisco IOS version 12.3 (8) JA and earlier versions (350, 1100, 1130, 1200 and 1230 access points and access point/bridge 1300 series) are supported by Cisco IOS version 12.3 (8) JEA1.

  Do not install a "JX" (it is a software image support to upgrade and recovery Cisco Lightweight Access Point Protocol (LWAPP));

  These release notes describe features, improvements, and caveats for Cisco IOS release 12.3 (11) JX1.

  Note: This version must be loaded on points of access to the plant or by using the lightweight stand-alone mode upgrade tool. Your access point may become unusable if you install this software without using the upgrade tool.

  Returning to standalone Access Point

  http://www.Cisco.com/en/us/products/HW/wireless/ps430/prod_technical_reference09186a00804fc3dc.html#wp161272

  You can convert an access point of the mode light return to autonomous mode by loading a Cisco IOS version that supports stand-alone mode (Cisco IOS release 12.3 (7) JA or earlier version). If the access point is associated with a controller, you can use the controller to load the version of Cisco IOS. If the access point is not associated with a controller, you can load the version of Cisco IOS using TFTP.

  By using a TFTP server to revert to a previous version

  Follow these steps to return mode LWAPP stand-alone mode by loading a version of Cisco IOS using a TFTP server:

  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Step 1 the IP address of the computer on which the server software runs TFTP should range from 10.0.0.2 to 10.0.0.30.

  Step 2 make sure the PC contains the file access point (for example, c1200-k9w7 - tar.122 - 15.JA.tar for a 1200 Series access point) in the TFTP server folder and the TFTP server is activated.

  Step 3 Rename the access point image file in the folder of the TFTP server c1200-k9w7 - tar.default for a series of 1200 point, c1130-k9w7 - tar.default of access for a series of 1130 access point and c1240-k9w7 - tar.default for a series of 1240 access point.

  Step 4 connect the PC to the access point using an Ethernet category 5 cable (CAT5).

  Step 5 disconnect the power to the access point.

  Step 6 push the MODE button and hold the button while you reconnect power to the access point.

  Step 7 hold the MODE button until the status of the LED turns red (approximately 20 to 30 seconds), then release.

  Step 8 wait until restarting access point, as indicated by the LEDs become green followed the status LED flashes green.

  Step 9 after the access point reboots, reconfigure using the GUI or the CLI.

• 4402 wireless controller and the 1130AG access points

  I have a bunch of 1130AG (35) and 1231 points of access. I just bought a controller 4402 so I could handle these much easier access points. I currently have the offline access points, so I could control. With the wireless in the mix controller, that I have to fix these to light mode or can I leave them offline.

  We know not the operating instructions so I can leave them in stand-alone mode. Most of them is in the rafters in our warehuse, and I didn't have to pull of these if I have to. If I can use them offline, how can I do that?

  Thanks much for any info!

  Hi Dave,.

  A WLC manages autonomous APs.
  So if you want to centralize the management of your APs through the WLC, you will need to convert it to light and enter them on the WLC.

  To convert the lightweight access points, you can choose between several options:

  1. thanks to a specific upgrade tool that you could install on a PC:
  http://www.Cisco.com/en/us/partner/docs/wireless/access_point/conversion/LWAPP/upgrade/guide/lwapnote.html

  2. [the most evolutionary] by WCS, with a model of migration that could apply to several APs:
  http://www.Cisco.com/en/us/docs/wireless/WCS/7.0/Configuration/Guide/7_0apcfg.html#wp1054876

  3. [not in any book] by the following steps:
  3 (a) download the CEC lwapp recovery image and store it on a TFTP server.
  3 (b) Telnet to the stand-alone PA and issuing the following command:
  Archive Download-sw / overwrite/reload tftp: / // [lwapp recovery image file path]

  As a general recommendation, before to convert the lightweight access points, you can be sure that the wired infrastructure behind is ready to direct them to the WLC for recording.
  It's suggestions explained in the link on the above option #1.

  Hope this helps,

  Hi Marc,

  Make sure first that your controller has software code 8.0.x or above, if first better it. Here's the code recommended by TAC

  http://www.Cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/wireless/wireless-LAN-Controller-software/200046-TAC-recommended-AireOS.html

  Then, try the UX above deployment guide to begin. Under Advanced tab WLAN, you need to enable "of the first universal ap' in order to use this app provisioning & connect to the AP.

  If you have more than 1 AP, then you must start 1AP using this application. Other access points that you can feed them upward, while AP original is also powered, so they'll use protocal called NDP & start them automatically

  Let us know how it goes

• Remove the secondary controller and tertiary high availability for each access point

  I want to remove secondary and tertiary sector controller of high availability for each access point. I have more than 900 APs associated with a Version of the WLC 8510 8.0.121.0 software. What is the best/better way to remove secondary and tertiary controller?
  Or I can create a model first. We use version 2.2

  Hello

  Easiest way:

  Yes you can do this by using the first Cisco Infrastructure, you can create a Setup AP Lightweight model to specify the name of the PDC and the IP address and specify an empty value (choose the first empty option in the drop-down list) and 0.0.0.0 for the secondary and tertiary sector controllers.  Then you can apply this model to the AP, and she must remove (virgins all) values for these fields.

  Long way:

  Yes there is no clean way to remove it from the CLI. you need to manually remove each on the AP.

• My Airport Time Capsule can act as a WIRELESS access point

  Hello.

  I brought a Time Capsule with my Mac Pro. It worked well since yesterday.

  I have set up the time Capsule as a WIFI, bypass at my local network access point. There is a router (cable) works at home.

  It's my Mac Pro AirPort Utility and my iPhone, my Time Capsule is displayed with an exclamation point saying "device not found". I can't connect to the disk on this subject by afp share, or smb. Time Machine function is gone too. He failed trying to connect to the share drive from another computer connected to the time Capsule by cable network.

  But at the same time, WiFi works well.

  I tried to recycle energy. Sharing disk will be available. But if I start the Time Machine backup, it will not be a few seconds.

  Any idea?

  Thank you.

  There are several posts here related the issue.

  Luckily, you have set up your new Time Capsule for Back to My Mac (BTMM)?

  If so, the 'temporary' solution is to delete/disable the option of the CCMM, as follows:

  • Run the AirPort Utility.
  • Select the base and then station, select change.
  • On the tab of the Base Station, go back to the section of my Mac at the bottom of the window.
  • If you have entries here, select it and click then the minus sign "-" button to remove it.
  • Click on update and allow the base station restart.

  If you have not enabled CCMM, we have other options for you to try.
