AP 1230 Convert to Lightweight
Can the AP 1230 AG 802.11 A/B/G be converted to a lightweight access point that can be managed by
a Cisco wireless LAN controller. I read conflicting messages on the data sheets. Thanks.
For all IOS-based 1200 series modular access point (1200/1220 Cisco IOS Software Upgrade, 1210 and 1230 AP) platforms, it depends on the radio:
–if 802.11G, MP21G and MP31G are supported
–if 802.11A, RM21A and RM22A are supported
The 1200 series access points can be upgraded with any combination of supported radios: G only, A only, or both G and A.

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.
Thankx&Regds

Can an autonomous 1252 be converted to Lightweight AP?
I have incorrectly received a 1252 AP (model number AIR-AP1252AS-E-K9) and was hoping to convert this to a lightweight AP. But in the documentation this device is missing from the list of devices that can be converted.
I am also unable to find an upgrade tool for this model.
Is it possible to convert this device?Someone on the forum used the latest upgrade tool and siad he was able to convert the 1252 to LWAPP. You can try it or else here are some steps from another member on converting these ap's:
Here is a method to do the conversion.
*Method 1 : ( Mode Button )*
1. Install an external TFTP tool such as tftpd32 tool from http://tftpd32.jounin.net/
2. Assign IP address in the range 10.0.0.2 - .254 ( Ex : 10.0.0.3) to the tftp server (your laptop or pc).
3. Download the IOS to lwapp image onto the tftp's root directory. Use http://www.cisco.com or
http://tools.cisco.com/support/downloads/go/IPCheck.x?defAdv=N&sftAdv=N&image=c1250-rcvk9w8-tar.124-10b.JA3&filepath=/swc/esd/02/crypto/3DES/281235915/guest&filename=c1250-rcvk9w8-tar.124-10b.JA3&advUrl=null&isk=Y&defInd=N&mdfid=281235915&sftType=Autonomous%20To%20Lightweight%20Mode%20Upgrade%20Image&optPlat=&relVer=12.4(10b)JA3&fileId=271159&treeMdfId=278875243&treeName=Wireless
4. Rename c1250-rcvk9w8-tar.124-10b.JA3 to c1250-rcvk9w8-tar.default
5. Make sure you set the IP address on the BVI interface of the AP if not set. Set it in the 10.0.0.x range. Default is 10.0.0.1.
6. Connect the Ethernet port on AP to your TFTP Server ( Laptop )
7. Hold the mode button and power off the AP.
8. Power back the AP while continually holding the mode button for 20-30
seconds.
*Method 2 : ( Archive Command )*
1. Install an external TFTP tool such as tftpd32 tool from http://tftpd32.jounin.net/
2. Assign IP address in the range 10.0.0.2 - .254 ( Ex : 10.0.0.3) to the tftp server (your laptop or pc).
3. Download the IOS to lwapp image onto the tftp's root directory. Use http://www.cisco.com or

4. Make sure you set the IP address on the BVI interface of the AP if not set. Set it in the 10.0.0.x range. Default is 10.0.0.1.
5. Connect the Ethernet port on AP to your TFTP Server ( Laptop )
6. On AP, type archive download-sw /overwrite /force-reload tftp:///c1250-rcvk9w8-tar.124-10b.JA3
Going the other way (lwapp to autonomous)
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/access_point/conversion/lwapp/upgrade/guide/lwapnote.html#wp161272
If you need to manually "prime" the LWAPP:

AP#lwapp ap ip default-gateway
AP#lwapp ap controller ip address
AP#lwapp ap hostname

Converting AIR-AP1231G-A-K9 to lightweight mode
Hi Everyone,
I have an issue with Cisco AP AIR-AP1231G-A-K9 after converted to Lightweight mode. I am using WLC 2106 with version code of 7.0.98.0 but after successfull conversion from autonomous mode to lightweight mode the, the AP is not getting associated to WLC. It shows up for a one or two seconds under WLC and then again disappers. This AP has raido AIR-MP31G which i think is supported for converting it to lightweight mode.

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.

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 -
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...
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/access_point/conversion/lwapp/upgrade/guide/lwapnote.html#wp160918
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQ_NuxdRhQ4
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
-DaveAn 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 :) -

Hi folks. I have 9 x 1242 AG, I am trying to convert to lightweight but no success.
The AP's are :
Product/Model Number:
AIR-AP1242AG-A-K9
Top Assembly Serial Number:
FTX1045B6V3
System Software Filename:
c1240-k9w7-tar.124-10b.JDA
System Software Version:

Bootloader Version:
12.3(7)JA1
I am using c1240-rcvk9w8-tar.124-21a.JA2.tar as the upgrade image.
Before I go into more details, please would anyone confirm that this is ok to do ? I have a sinking feeling that it's not going to be possible, which is a biiig problem.
Many thanks,
NMHi Neil,
The good news is that the 1242 is fully supported for the Autonomous to
LWAPP conversion process We have always used the LWAPP Upgrade
Tool for this process to capture the SSC, but I'm sure that Leo or one of the other
great NetPros here can help you further with your process.

Autonomous To Lightweight Mode Upgrade Image 1042
Hi,
I have two AP1042 that I want to convert to lightweight, but I'm not able to find the software for that. I can only find the IOS software. Is it possible to convert? Is it located some other place?
Regards,
PatrickVikas,
You can convert any of these AP's from autonomous to lightweight and vice versa. The requirement is that you need to be able to download the image. If you have the support to download, then you can follow one of these instructions:

LWAPP to autonomus AP converstion steps
Here is a example steps for you:
Step 1 The PC you intend to use must be configured with a static IP address in the range of 10.0.0.2 to 10.0.0.30.
Step 2 Make sure that the PC contains the access point image file (such as c1100-k9w7-tar.122-15.JA.tar for an 1100 series access point or 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 c1100-k9w7-tar.default for an 1100 series access point or c1200-k9w7-tar.default for a 1200 series access point.
Step 4 Connect the PC to the access point using a Category 5 (CAT5) Ethernet cable.
Step 5 Disconnect power (the power jack for external power or the Ethernet cable for in-line power) from the access point.
Step 6 Press and hold the MODE button 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 release the MODE button.
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, you must reconfigure the access point by using the Web-browser interface or the CLI.

How to load an image on a LAP1252 with the bootloader
Hello--
I have a LAP1252 that lost the flash image, consequently, when it tries to boot, the boot loader can not find anything to load. I can not find any documentation on how to use the TFTP client on the AP, can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thank you.Converting a Lightweight Access Point Back to Autonomous Mode

WLC 5508 with version 7.0.98.0 and AIR-LAP1242ag
hi, recently i have deployed wlc 5508 with ap 1262. initially i had trouble with the existing version on the wlc (6..0.199.0) which AIR-LAP1262N-E-K9 was not registering with wlc. i have upgraded the wlc to 6.0.199.4 ver still it was not registering. finally i have upgraded to 7.0.98.0 and all the 40 AP's ( AIR-LAP1262N-E-K9 ) are addedd and its working fine.
Now my issue is, at the same site i have 12 nos of AIR-LAP1242ag autnomous AP's which i need to convert to lightweight ap and register with wlc. where i am stuck currently. after loading the recovery image (c1240-rcvk9w8-tar.123-7.JX9.tar) the ap reboots and can see it register with wlc within seconds contollers pushed the new image and once the ap reboots, never register again.
does anyone has any idea?After adding the country codes GB and RU.. in my test setup 1242 is registered...i will have it run for couple hours and see the result

I was setting up the APs for a new users lab when we discovered they had puchased LAPs instead of APs.
I installed the current version of the IOS following the procedures outlined in "Converting a Lightweight Access Point Back to Autonomous Mode" on Cisco's website. However, they're just not behaving correctly.
Before going further, can LAP1131s be converted to autonomous mode? Or is it only AP1131s that can be converted back and forth?
Thanks,
ChrisHi Chris,
One thing to note that on the newer IOS's the Radio's cannot be enabled until the SSID is set. You may have been seeing this result;
Changes to the Default Configuration-Radios Disabled and No Default SSID
In this release, the radio or radios are disabled by default, and there is no default SSID. You must create an SSID and enable the radio or radios before the access point will allow wireless associations from other devices. These changes to the default configuration improve the security of newly installed access points.

Hope this helps!

AIR-CAP1602E-N-K9 access point
hi,
can any one help me to configure AIR-CAP1602E-N-K9 as standalone acess point.
its a new one with default setting as per my knowledege its a controller based access point so pls help how to convert into standalone access point and which image is compatible with that.Converting a Lightweight Access Point Back to Autonomous Mode
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.
Using a Wireless LAN Controller to Return to a Previous Release
Follow these steps to revert from LWAPP mode to autonomous mode using a wireless LAN controller:
Step 1 Log into the CLI on the controller to which the access point is associated.
Step 2 Enter this command:
config ap tftp-downgrade tftp-server-ip-address filename access-point-name
Using a TFTP Server to Return to a Previous Release
Note This section does not apply to Cisco C3201WMIC and Cisco C3201LAP.
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 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:
a. Disable any software firewall products, such as Windows firewall, ZoneAlarm firewall, McAffee firewall, or others.
b. Ensure all Windows files are visible. From Windows Explorer, click Tools > Folder Options > View; then uncheck the Hide extensions for known file types check box.
Step 5 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, c1240-k9w7-tar.default for a 1240 series access point, and c1250-k9w7-tar.default for a 1250 series access point.
Step 6 Connect the PC to the access point using a Category 5 (CAT5) Ethernet cable.
Step 7 Disconnect power from the access point.
Step 8 Press and hold MODE while you reconnect power to the access point.
Step 9 Hold the MODE button until the status LED turns red (approximately 20 to 30 seconds) and then release.
Step 10 Wait until the access point reboots, as indicated by all LEDs turning green followed by the Status LED blinking green.
Step 11 After the access point reboots, reconfigure it using the GUI or the CLI.
