2602i lightweight to autonomous issue

I currently have a 2602i access point that I need to load autonomous image ap3g2-k9w7-tar.153-3.JAA.tar on to, with no WLC. I have already tried the steps from the following links...

https://supportforums.cisco.com/discussion/11875096/convert-2602i-lightweight-autonomous
Each time I have tried I am hooking my laptop running tftpd32 to the Ethernet interface on the AP. I have been using 10.0.0.5/24 and/or /27 as the IP for my laptop/tftp server. When doing the steps that say assign an address to g0 I have tried both 10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.2/24 or /27.
I am at a loss and hoping that there is an answer out there that is specific to the 2602i that I have not found yet. Each time I go through any of the steps the connection to the tftp server times out. I have adjusted the time out setting in tftpd to 30, 45 and 100 seconds.
Thank you in advance

An other way to get the correct image on the AP is to do it from rommon.
0. Configure IPv4 address "192.168.1.1" on your desktop / notebook LAN interface, connect the console and verify that no firewall is blocking the incoming tftp connections
1. Send the "break" signal on the console when the AP is booting so you are getting into rommon
2. Configure a static IPv4 address on the AP
ap: set IP_ADDR 192.168.1.2
3. Enable the ethernet interface on the AP
ap: ether_init
4. Start the tftp engine
ap: tftp_init
5. Download and extract the new .tar software
ap: tar -xtract tftp://192.168.1.1/ap3g2-k9wx-tar.xxxx.tar flash:
6. Set the new IOS image as boot image
ap: set BOOT flash:/ap3g2-k9w7-mx.152-2.JA/ap3g2-k9wx-xxxx.JA
7. Let the AP boot
ap: boot
That should do the trick :)

  • Convert a 2602i from lightweight to autonomous?

    I have a CAP2602i that I would like to convert from lightweight to autonomous.  Is this possible as with the older APs? 
    I'm following the instructions for the older models http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/access_point/conversion/lwapp/upgrade/guide/lwapnote.html#wp161272 with the adjustment of renaming file ap3g2-k9w7-tar.152-2.JB.tar to ap3g2-k9w7-tar.default.
    Here is my console output at the point that I am failing:

    Thanks in advance!  Any help would be apprectiated!

    Hi Mantej,
    It does not work with these new APs 1600/2600.
    You need to perform these steps:
    Restart the Access Point
    While it loads the image in flash, press Escape, you’ll enter ROMMON mode:
    The system boot has been aborted. The following
    commands will finish loading the operating system
    software:
    ether_init
    tftp_init
    boot
    Set the IP address for the gigabit 0 interface:
    ap: set IP_ADDR 10.0.0.1
    ap: set netmask 255.255.255.0
    Initialize the tftp, ethernet and flash subsystems:
    ap: tftp_init
    tftp_init success: You can now use tftp file system!
    ap: ether_init
    Initializing ethernet port 0...
    Ethernet speed is 100 Mb - FULL Duplex
    ap: flash_init
    Initializing Flash...
    ...The flash is already initialized.
    Load the image from TFTP and extract it to flash:
    ap: tar -xtract tftp://10.0.0.100/ap3g2-k9w7-tar.152-2.JB.tar flash
    After it’s done, set the correct bootimage:
    ap: set BOOT flash://ap3g2-k9w7-mx.152-2.JB/ap3g2-k9w7-xx.152-2.JB
    Boot the system:
    ap: boot

  • Convertion from Lightweight to Autonomous access points

    Is it possible to convert AIR-LAP1121G-E-K9 Lightweight access point to autonomous access point.

    Hi tm,
    You can convert AIR-LAP1121G-K-E9 to autonamus access point,pls do follow the procedur
    Follow these steps to revert from LWAPP mode to autonomous mode by loading a Cisco IOS release using a TFTP server:
    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 Rename the access point image file in the TFTP server folder to c1200-k9w7-tar.default for a 1200 series access point, c1130-k9w7-tar.default for an 1130 series access point, and c1240-k9w7-tar.default for a 1240 series access point.
    Step 4
    Connect the PC to the access point using a Category 5 (CAT5) Ethernet cable.
    Step 5
    Disconnect power from the access point.
    Step 6
    Press and hold MODE while you reconnect power to the access point.
    Step 7
    Hold the MODE button until the status LED turns red (approximately 20 to 30 seconds) and then release.
    Step 8
    Wait until the access point reboots, as indicated by all LEDs turning green followed by the Status LED blinking green.
    Step 9
    After the access point reboots, reconfigure it using the GUI or the CLI.

  • AIR-RM1252G-E-K9 changing from lightweight to autonomous?

    Hi Everyone
    I have a AIR-RM1252G-E-K9 access point which is in lightweight mode but need to change it to autonomous mode. After doing a bit of googling i understand its as simple as tftp'ing over an autonomous image.  Ive found a link below which states that i need version 12.3 or earlier:
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/access_point/conversion/lwapp/upgrade/guide/lwapnote.html#wp161272
    However i can only find images for this access point starting from 12.4.
    Can anyone just clear things up for me and perhaps point me in the right direction?
    thanks

    I downloaded the image c1250-k9w7-tar.124-21a.JA1.tar. I want to enable DHCP but i cant do this. Can anyone help me out with this?
    Hmmmm ... It's either I don't understand what is your problem or something else.  For starters, 12.4(21a)JA1 supports the AP being a simple DHCP server:
    WAP(config)#ip dhcp pool ?
    WORD  Pool name
    Next, you said you've "downloaded" the IOS.  Can you post the output of "sh version" please?

  • 887VAW 802 lightweight to Autonomous

    Hi guys, I've managed to 'upgrade' the onboard 802 AP to lightweight in error but cannot find a way to 'downgrade' it back to autonomous mode. I've read various threads but none of then work for me. Any advice would be welcome. Thanks Robbie.

    You can convert an access point from lightweight mode back to autonomous mode by loading a Cisco IOS Release that supports autonomous mode (Cisco IOS release 12.3(7)JA or earlier). If the access point is associated to a controller, you can use the controller to load the Cisco IOS release. If the access point is not associated to a controller, you can load the Cisco IOS release using TFTP.
    Note In some LWAPP deployments, the LWAPP controller resides between the access points and the rest of the network. In this topology, all traffic must cross over the controller before communication with network resources, such as a TFTP server, can occur. When converting back to non-LWAPP IOS with an access point that is no longer using the LWAPP protocol, traffic does not cross over the controller to reach the TFTP server.
    Note The lightweight 1300 series access points can only be converted back to autonomous mode using a wireless LAN controller.

  • Conversion from Lightweight to Autonomous

    Hey guys,
    I'm trying to get an Access Point 1140 Series to go back to Autonomous, but when I type archive download-sw /overwrite /reload tftp://1.2.3.4/autonomous-image.tar It says it doesn't recognize that command.
    It's connected to a WLC 2504 with software version 7.6
    Thanks.

    If the AP is still connected to the WLC, then enter the command in the WLC to convert the AP to autonomous:  config ap tftp-downgrade <TFTP IP address> <IOS FILEMANE.TAR> <AP name>
    If the AP is no longer connected to the WLC, then read this:  Using a TFTP Server to Return to a Previous Release

  • 3700 AP - Best way to convert back from Autonomous to LIghtweight

    I have a 3700 AP that I have up & running as Autonomous. I recently got a 2504 WLC and would like to put the AP back to Lightweight and run it from the 2504.  
    The 2504 is running 8.0.110.0 code and I have the current 3700 Lightweight Recovery image and IOS downloaded as well. 
    I have done done some searches and most of he articles are conversion to Autonomous. Not much is out there for putting it back. Some articles just mention needing the Lightweight  recovery image while others state I can use the Mode button and just have a TFTP server running  in a specific subnet and the AP will "pull" down the code and convert back.  Almost all of the articles refer to old model APs...
    Looking for clarity in the process as I certainly don't want to brick this 3700 AP. 
    Thx. 

    Hi
    You can use either methods & it will work (even for 3700)
    If you using mode button method, make sure you rename the recovery image something like this ap3g2-k9w7-tar.default. Refer this post for detail
    http://mrncciew.com/2013/12/13/ap-conversion-using-mode-button/

  • Converting back AP 2600 from Autonomous to LWAPP

    Hello,
    I have Cisco AP 2600, Previously  i had converted it from  LWAPP mode into Autonomous-Mode.  But now I need to revert it back to LWAPP mode.  
    Can anyone send me the link on how to do it ?

    HI Imran,
    Yes you can convert it to lightweight. Just need the lightweight recovery image.
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/access_point/conversion/lwapp/upgrade/guide/lwapnote.html
    For the LWAP conversion, use the recovery image (example:  c1140-rcvk9w8-tar.124-25d.JAL.tar). after thatuse the command on the autonomous AP priviledge mode.
    AP#archive download-sw /force-reload /overwrite tftp://10.10.10.1/c1140-rcvk9w8-tar.124-25d.JA.tar

  • Wireless lightweight Conversion AIR SAP 1602

    Hi, we have serveral AIR-SAP1602I-E-K9 access points which are currently working in standalone mode, we now have a 2504 Wireless LAN controller so is it possible to convert the AIR-SAP1602I-E-K9  to lightweight mode?

    Yes you can. Make sure you have atleast 7.4.100.0 version on WLC to support 1602 AP.
    1. For the LWAP conversion, use the recovery image. First download the rcvk9w8 software from this link.
    2. Next you copy the IOS from your TFTP server to your AP.
    3. The command, must be entered on the AP, is:  archive download-sw /over tftp:///<image name>

    Please help me on this.
    Regards,

    Did you try the mode button method explained here. You have to rename your image to "ap3g2-k9w7-tar.default" to use in this method.
    http://mrncciew.com/2013/12/13/ap-conversion-using-mode-button/
    Otherwise follow this & see
    http://mrncciew.com/2012/10/20/lightweight-to-autonomous-conversion/
    Once converted to autonomous you can assign a static IP & default gateway like this. Then if needed you can access GUI
    interface bvi 1
    ip address x.x.x.x <subnet_mask>
    ip default gateway x.x.x.y

  • Cisco Aironet 3502i and Virtual Wireless Controller- Question

    Hello everyone,
    As soon, I purchased two Cisco 3502i and Cisco 1142 however, two issue are that I don't have controller and smartnet. As my purpose, it using for Home Use but house with 2,500 Sq ft with two floor and new 24x24ft garage with two floor. I put two Cisco 3502i for garage and one cisco 1142 in house on second floor. Separated for multi media, gaming, streaming high resolution video, parts, and downloads programmings online. It will run with Cisco Catalyst Express 500 with 24 ports (4 POE) and two gigabit ports. In house, it have Dell Poweredge 2850, Cisco Catalyst Express 500 with 24 ports POE and 2 ports gigabit.
    I thought to make my own developing with my first time using Wireless Controller. I wanted to try out with Virtual WLC on Dell Poweredge 2850 running ESXi 4.1.
    Specs for Dell Poweredge 2850:
    - 2x Intel Xeon Dual Core 3.8 GHz
    - 4GB RAM (Will upgrade to 12GB soon)
    - 2x 146GB and 2x 36GB SCSI
    - 2x 1 Gbps built in and 4x 1 Gbps PCI-X
    Developing with Untangle and pfSense to make it support with LADP and VLAN to both Cisco Express 500 using 4 gbps PCI-X. I have read the requipment list to use Virtual WLC but it seem met the requipment for my 2850. If someone offer me to get Virtual WLC and IOS from their, I accept to "borrow" it. I do go college which is Rochester Institute of Technology at New York and my major is Applied Computer Technology. I live here at Hampton Road, Virginia. Just in case if you might know about RIT. I just start to learning myself with Cisco books.
    I have a question:
    - Is there possible to get trial or full version of Virtual WLC?
    - Is there possible to get Lightweight or Autonomous IOS for Cisco 1142 and 3502i?
    -  Does it supported Dell PowerEdge 2850?
    - Does 3502i support Autonomous? (Not actually but I have researched around online about that it will work with 1262's IOS)
    Thanks

    Answers in-line...
    I have a question:
    - Is there possible to get trial or full version of Virtual WLC?
    No.  You will need a SmartNet contract (or a freshly purchased device) to obtain software from cisco.  Nobody will provide this to you.
    - Is there possible to get Lightweight or Autonomous IOS for Cisco 1142 and 3502i?
    No.  You will need a SmartNet contract (or a freshly purchased device) to obtain software from cisco. 
    Nobody will provide this to you.
    -  Does it supported Dell PowerEdge 2850?
    Cisco doesn't go in to great detail regarding the actual Hardware requirements of the vWLC (as far as ESX Host requirements).  Primarily, making sure you are running ESX 4.x/5.x is necessary.  The vWLC provisions 2Gb of RAM and 8GB of thick provisioned storage, so if your host can accomodate I don't see any reason it wouldn't work.
    - Does 3502i support Autonomous? (Not actually but I have researched around online about that it will work with 1262's IOS)
    Yes, with the latest versions of IOS 15.2(2)JB, full functionality in autonomous can be achieved on the 1550, 3500, and 3600 series APs

  • Convert capwap to LWAPP telnet

    Is it possible to convert capwap to LWAPP via telnet?
    Through the 5508 controller, I enabled Telnet for a specific AP with capwap image.
    I was able to telnet to the AP and access CLI.
    I issued the command capwap ap controller ip address x.x.x.x
    The AP did not reject the command with an error, but it did not accept the command either. Is there anyway I can do this remotely? Do I need to gather the AP's and console in?

    Yes, CAPWAP is the IEEE standard (not proprietary like LWAPP which is cisco proprietary) for AP to WLC communication.
    If AP is managed via controller (WLC) then we referred as Lightweight (or unified wireless). If it operate standalone without a controller then it is referred as "Autonomous". You  can convert an AP from Autonomous to Lightweight (& vise versa)
    In your case since you want to manage it through WLC (which is the best way of deploying wireless), you do not want to worry about  these encapsulation method too much.
    If you are new then I would suggest you to read about basic topics like AP registraion/CAPWAP. Here are some links from my blog which may help you on this

  • Aironet 2700 Global Configuration

    I have an Aironet 2700i wireless AP that will not allow me to enter global configuration mode. The "invalid character" error appears with the karat at the 'o' each time. I am no longer sure if it's operator error or if there is an issue with the AP.

    I agree with George.
    Looks like you have a Lightweight image on the AP.
    You can issue a show version, and if the Access Point shows a software version mention the letters K9W8, means that you have a Lightweight AP and this can only work with a Wireless Controller.
    If you want this AP to work in autonomous or standalone mode, you have two options:
    - Replace it with your reseller, for an autonomous AP
    - Convert it from Lightweight to Autonomous.
    You can try doing the conversion yourself, just follow the instructions on this post:
