Upgrade/convert 521 to LWAPP

I have a 526 controller and 4 521 APs on my LAN that I want to upgrade to LWAPP. I am using CCA and all the help says this should be a point-and-click type of thing. However, when I try the upgrade the CCA asks for an image I don't have and can't find in the CCA folder. The download section for the 521 doesn't have it either. Where can I get this image? Is there another way to upgrade?
Thanks in advance,
Diego

I have the right recovery code but the CCA topology map doesn't even see any of my 521 AP's. It can see the WLC526 and it can see the 3560 PoE switch it's attached to, but those are the only 2 items on the topology map. I'm using native VLAN as 100. I set the ports the 521's into a trunk ports w/ native vlan as 100 so I can http to the 521 AP's. I'm using 3 vlans, voice, guest, and internal users but I just can't get them to join the WLC as LWAPPS??? Frustrating!! Any ideas? All the documentation shows the AP's showing in the topology map and then you just point/click to LWAPP recovery image to convert them from autonmouse to LWAPP but I can't even see them in the topology map yet I can ping and web to them and they seem fine. I could probably leave them all autonomous and manually configure all 5 and have it work anyways but I'd be waisting the WLC 526 and it would serve no purpose?!?!?!
Thanks!!!

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

Upgrade 1121 autonomous to LWAPP

I have some access-points AIR-AP-1121G-TO-K9 and it would like to use them with a WLAN Controller. Is possible to change IOS for the software LWAPP to use with the WLAN Controller?
I know that that is possible in another models of access-points, but I don't know if the 1121 support that upgrade.
Regards.

Hi Andre,
Just to add a note to the good tips from Ankur. These AP's can be converted to LWAPP. We did this exact conversion last summer on about 30 1121G's with the **LWAPP upgrade tool**.
Support for the 1121 was added in WLC version 4.0.155.0 Have a look at these related docs;
Software release 4.0.155.0 New Features
LWAPP for Cisco Aironet 1100 Series Access Points (802.11g radio only) Allows the Cisco Aironet 1100 Series Access Point to be upgraded from autonomous access point mode to lightweight mode using the autonomous to lightweight mode upgrade tool.
Note You must install software release 4.0.155.0 on the controller before connecting 1100 series access points to the controller.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6366/prod_release_note09186a00806e8989.html#wp147320
LWAPP Upgrade Tool Troubleshoot Tips
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk722/tk809/technologies_tech_note09186a008072d9a1.shtml
Access points must run Cisco IOS Release 12.3(7)JA or later before you use the upgrade tool.
System Requirements
You can use the Autonomous to Lightweight Mode upgrade tool to install Cisco IOS Release 12.3(11)JX on these access points:
**All 1100 series access points containing MP21G (802.11g) radios
All 1130, 1230, and 1240 series access points
All modular 1200 series access points running Cisco IOS software and containing these supported radios:
802.11g: MP21G, MP31G
802.11a: AIR-RM21A-x-K9, AIR-RM22A-x-K9
All 1300 series access points in access point mode
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/access_point/ios/release/notes/b311jx1.html
Cisco has released a free tool called the "Autonomous to Lightweight Mode Upgrade Tool" that allows selected Cisco Aironet autonomous access point models to be configured for lightweight mode operation.
The Autonomous to Lightweight Mode Upgrade Tool supports the following models:
Cisco Aironet 1240AG Series access points
Cisco Aironet 1230AG Series access points
Cisco Aironet 1200 Series access points that contain 802.11g (AIR-MP21G-x-K9) and/or second-generation 802.11a radios (AIR-RM21A-x-K9 or AIR-RM22A-x-K9)
Cisco Aironet 1130AG Series access points
**Cisco Aironet 1100 Series Access Points that contain 802.11g radios (AIR-AP1121G-x-K9)
Cisco Aironet 1300 Series Access Points/Bridges (AIR-BR1310G-x-K9 or AIR-BR1310G-x-K9-R). A Cisco Aironet 1300 Series operating in Lightweight Access Point Protocol (LWAPP) mode only operates as an access point. This series does not support LWAPP bridging mode.
The Autonomous to Lightweight Mode Upgrade Tool supports a process to migrate an autonomous access point from autonomous mode to lightweight mode. Unlike a VxWorks to Cisco IOS Software upgrade, this process is a Cisco IOS Software upgrade to the existing Cisco IOS Software image-not an operating system "swapout". In converted access points operating in lightweight mode, Cisco IOS Software continues to run on the access point, while LWAPP is used to communicate with a wireless LAN controller. Since LWAPP supports automatic access point configuration, there is no need to retain or convert the original autonomous Cisco IOS Software access point configuration.

Converting ap1250 to Lwapp

Hello, I am having issues trying to convert from autonomous to lwapp. This is the first time working with this model, we have 1242's which are lwapp and working fine. The version I have is 12.4(10b).JA1 but when I use the upgrade tool and try to use image file c1250-rcvk9w8-tar.124-10b.JA1.tar I get an error stating that the LWAPP Recovery Image is not a valid one. I got this file from Cisco and I am very confused as to why this does not work. Anything I am missing? Thanks!

Requirements:
â¢ Image file (The recovery file has the prefix ârcvâ in the image name, such as c1200-rcvk9w7-tar.122-15.JA.tar);
â¢ AP is connected to the Wireless LAN Controller; and
â¢ AP can ping the TFTP server where the image is located.
Procedure
1. Copy the recovery file to the AP using the following command:
archive tar /x tftp:/// flash:
2. Let the AP boot on this image:
boot system flash://.bin
3. Reboot the AP.
OPTIONAL
â¢ DO NOT ALLOW THE AP TO JOIN THE WIRELESS LAN CONTROLLER IN ORDER TO USE THE OPTIONAL COMMANDS BELOW.
â¢ IF POSSIBLE, type the following commands:
ï¾ clear lwapp private-config (This will bring the AP to factory default.);
ï¾ clear lwapp ap ip address
ï¾ clear lwapp ap hostname
ï¾ clear lwapp ap controller ip address
4. Let the AP connect to the Wireless LAN controller.
OPTIONAL
If an AP refuses to join the Wireless LAN Controller, type the following command from the AP:
lwapp ap controller ip address

Convert AP to LWAPP

Hi,
We recently purchased a few more 1131 APs for a remote office. For some reason, only one came as LWAPP AP, and the rests are all Autonomous APs.
I have successfully upgraded one Auto AP into LWAPP, it is under control of that office's WLC.
The image I downloaded is the latest one : c1130-rcvk9w8-tar.124-10b.JA3.tar, I am not too sure if I should have used c1130-rcvk9w8-tar.123-11JX1.tar
However i noticed that the product ID still shows up as AIR-AP1131AG-E-K9 instead of AIR-LAP1131AG-E-K9 like the one came with LWAPP. How to fix this, is this matters. Any help will be highly appreciated.

The image you used is fine for the conversion. The AP will use the code it gets from the controller anyway, so you don't need to worry there.
And sorry, but the product ID never changes. The AP was an AP when it was produced, and it will forever remain an AP. It cannot become an LAP, at least as far as the product ID is concerned.

Upgrade of 1131AG to LWAPP fails. "Invalid country code ()"

Hi all,
I have problems upgrading my 1131 Autonomous to LWAPP to be used towards an WLC 4402.
I have used the Upgrade tool and tried with 2 different versions of the Cisco recovery image on 2 different 1131 hardware boxes.
The upgrade seeems to go ok all the way. It downloads the image, reboot, connects to our WLC and starts the download of latest image from the WLC.
But at next restart it won't connect.
Version of WLC is 4.2.130. WLC is accepting self signed certs from AP's.
The WLC has 8 functioning AP's connected. These AP's where LWAPP from start though.
The WLC gives me the following errors when running debug:

Seems like the AP is not sending a Country code at all "Invalid country code ()."
The WLC and AP's are in different countries (Sweden and Belgium), but that has been prepared for in the WLC which accept both.
Any ideas?

Solved.
I had the errormessage from the beginning... But found it to unlikely...
"Regulatory domain check failed"
The supplier for our Belgian site has delivered a model of AIR-AP1131AG-N-K9, which is a US version.

Problems converting 1242AP from LWAPP to Autonomous

I tried to downgrade a 1242 LAP to Autonomous through a WLC using cisco's brief instructions:
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
Seems easy enough, i copied the IOS file (c1240-k9w7-tar.123-7.JA5.tar) to my TFTP root. Then i ran the command mentioned above from the CLI of the WLC. The WLC takes the command but nothing happens, if i hold down mode and reboot the AP it retains its previous settings? Any ideas?

In the end i ended up using the a version of the IOS that was one iteration older and it worked......bizzare

Problem converting air-ap1131ag-a-k9 to Lwapp

i have a person on my team who converted some autonomoous air-ap1131ag-a-k9 to lwapp. I don't think they did it right.
what they did is , booted the ap ( at this point it was running in autonomous mode), set the ip to 192.168.1.200 and their laptop to 192.168.1.100 connected the laptop directly to the AP. (I have found out that these AP's were old AP's that previously had configs on them, ( static ips, a whole config) they came from another building , they were the ones that other lwapps replaced.)
they then went to the web gui of the AP , went to software upgrade and loaded the lwapp recovery image on the ap (c1130-rcvk9w8-tar.124-10b.JA3.tar). the software loaded fine, and converted the AP . and thats all they did
(I had mentioned that we should use the upgrade tool, but they didn't listen)
the aps got mounted , on the ceiling in the hospital, but when they went to turn them on, they didnt show up right on the controller , they kept joining and unjoining..
i think there is a problem with the SSC, i remember, something like the time had to be the same on the ap and on the WLC.
anyways, these could be older AP's before 2005 ( unknown to me) which would mean they dont hav MIC's and have SSC. and the ap is refusing them is my thought.
the WLC is setup to accept self signed certs.
anyways...
these aps are now mounted on the ceilings , and when you do a show cdp nei, it has an ip address from when it was an autonomous ap.
Also, what is the best process you have found to convert Old autonomous 1131 AP's to lightweight mode?
thanks
the controller is running 4.2.176 WLC code. i currently don't have Access to WCS or a spare controller to use with the upgrade utility.
the controller is a 4404-100

i went to the wlc and issued the command
debug lwapp events enable
i got the following output

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

How to convert AIR-AP1041N (autonomus) to AIR-LAP1041N (lwapp)

Hi,
some days ago I succesfully converted AIR-LAP1041N (lwapp) to AIR-AP1041N (autonomus).
I used c1140-k9w7-tar.124-25d.JA1.tar which is available to download in Download Software Section for this AP.
But there are any autonomus to lightweigt firmware for this AP.
I tried to use c1140-rcvk9w8-tar.124-21a.JA2.tar for 1140 but AP hungs after that.
How can i back to LWAPP version in 1041?

this is what can i see on the console:

but i connected this AP to dhcp server i see that AP recived IP address from DHCP i tries to search conntroller (i can see frames from AP in wireshark, req to DHCP for CISCO-CAPWAP-CONTROLLER).
so in next days i will try to connect AP to the controller (wlc is in different site, without vpn connectivity).
i think that AP is bad, because of this "weirid chars" on console, but maybe when ap updates firmware from wlc, it will be OK.
thanks for help for now.

Env_vars file and LWAPP Migration

Hello
I wonder if any one can help?
We are migrating over 360 WAP to LWAPP and have encountered an issue associated with the env_vars file.
It appears that the env-vars file is referenced during the LWAPP migration tool upgrade process and the env_vars file contains out of date IP information that results in the newly converted LWAPP device having an incorrect IP address of incorrect DNS address.
We have tried deleting the env_vars file without success, as a 'reload' as part of the migration process recreates the dodgy env_vars information.
Is there any way to find the location of the old IP information that is being used by the WAP to create the env_vars file? It is not the running config, as the IP info is years out of date, so it must be hidden somewhere in flash?
Is there a way to find out where and then delete it?
Does anyone else have a solution that does not involve me having to climb a ladder 360 times and physically remove the WAP, perform a local upgrade and then re-install it?
thank you for any advice
regards
Bryn

The env_vars file will be stored in the flash directory on the AP. You can use the following command to list the contents of the flash directory.
ap#dir flash:
You can use the procedure explained in the document, http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/access_point/conversion/lwapp/upgrade/guide/lwapnote.html
to upgrade from autonomous to LWAPP mode.

Upgrade AP o LAP Aironet 1310

Hi Friends
I have 15 APs Aironet 1310 on the network and I wish to purchase a wireless LAN controller to manage a new wireless mesh network that will be implemented, however we also integrate the existing Access Point 1310. It is possible that my current Access Point 1310 can be changed in its mode of operation o Lightweight AP?
The current version of IOS is:
System Software Version: 12.4 (10b) JA
Bootloader Version: 12.3 (2) JA3
I thank you infinitely for your help.
Marcelo

Hi Marcelo,
You can convert the AP from Autonomous to LWAP using the Conversion Tool. 1310 is supported.

Controller and APs upgrade??

Hi
I have a set of APs and I need to buy a controller for them. please see the specification below:
Product/Model Number: AIR-AP1232AG-E-K9
Top Assembly Serial Number: FCZ1032Z022
System Software Filename: c1200-k9w7-tar.123-8.JA2
System Software Version: 12.3(8)JA2
Bootloader Version: 12.3(2)JA4
I am planning to install the 4404 WLAN controller.
do I need to make any upgrade to the software used by the APs?
thank you.

You need two things:
1. You need to prepare the LWAP image to convert your autonomous AP (aAP) to light-weight AP (LWAP); and
2. You need to use the Cisco Upgrade Tool to convert your aAP to LWAP.

If I purchase a LWAPP AP can I migrate it to non LWAPP

If I purchase a LWAPP AP can I migrate it to non LWAPP. If I purchase a non LWAPP AP can I migrate it to LWAPP, and then back to non LWAPP. Are there any advantages to buying a native LWAPP AP

Hi Friend,
Yes it is possible to convert LWAPP to IOS AP and also from IOS to LWAPP APs.
Even if you buy non lwapp ap you can convert it to LWAPP and again back to non LWAPP.
From NON LWAPP to LWAPP
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/access_point/conversion/lwapp/upgrade/guide/lwapnote.html
From LWAPP to NON LWAPP
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/access_point/conversion/lwapp/upgrade/guide/lwapnote.html#wp161272
Also the only advantage of buying a native lwapp ap is if your wireless network is only controller based then you do not need to go through all procedure of converting your APs from NON LWAPP to LWAPP and you can start using it directly.
