Upgrading 1252s from autonomous to LWAPP

I need to upgrade several 1252s from autonomous to LWAPP.
I have not been able to find the upgrade tool for 1250s or instructions for CLI upgrade.
I wil be using NCS to do final configuration once the APs come online.
Can someone assist?
Thanks,
Kristin                     

So long as you pull the rcv file for the AP you should be able ti use NCS to do the conversion.
Other than that a standard AP upgrade should work, with the rcv file as well.

  • Upgraded outdoor 1310G bridge from Autonomous to LWAPP

    I recently got a pair of outdoor 1310G bridge radios to create a bridge. I upgraded one of the APs from Autonomous to LWAPP so that it could connect to our 4402 controller so that it could be monitored and controlled by it.
    Everything looks like it upgraded fine with the upgrade tool never got any errors however the file: Config_18June2009_95613.csv that is suppose to have a hash key so that I can load that into the WCS or directly into the WLC is blank nothing is in that document. So at the moment the AP is not joining up with the WLC. Anybody have any advice?
    Thanks,
    Ryan

    Hi Ryan,
    You can run 'debug pm pki enable' when the AP is trying to join to find out the hash key.

  • Converting air-sap2602i-s-k9 from autonomous to LWAPP

    Hi guys,
        I need your expertise regarding how to convert from autonomous to LWAPP using AIR-SAP2602i-s-k9 with IOS version of ap3g2-k9w7-xx.152.-2.JA.
        I'm following these commands but it is not available
        debug capwap console cli or debug lwapp console cli
    I cannot proceed to convert it Did I miss something or the 2600 series doesn't support LWAPP convertion ?
    thank you
    Erik

    Hi Erik,
    Those commands aren;t going to work, they're debug commands for a lightweight AP.
    Here is the guide to upgrading:
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/access_point/conversion/lwapp/upgrade/guide/lwapnote.html
    It's pretty simple though, get the lightweight software follow the upgrade tool instructions to load new software.
    Though, you have a newer AP so you'd be ok just to load the new software on, if it's only for a small amount this is fine.
    Thanks

  • 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

  • Issues with Clients moving from Autonomous to LWAPP

    I have a fairly large wireless rollout of access points at my hospital's main campus and then I have 41 remote sites that have approximately 3 to 10 access points at each location.
    My problem is this, I just converted one site from 9 autonomous access point over to LWAPP. The site has a 10 meg metro Ethernet connection so I know its not the link back to me. We have 26 Motion Tablets with Atheros wireless clients at that location that utilize a Citrix application called Logician. We have been having some issues with the Motion tablets holding the Citrix connection, but once we converted this site, those clients have really been having issues.
    There is a high density of access points so coverage is not an issue, but I didn't know if anyone else out there may have a similar scenario and could lend some advise as to why the LWAPP causes so many issues.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi. LWAPP itself should not cause service to be worse; because of the dynamic nature of its settings, it should actually improve connectivity.
    Do these wireless clients have access to any services (e.g. internet) that do not require use of Citrix? If so, how is the performance there? If you're getting consistent, reasonably quick internet access, but your Citrix session keeps failing; it may not be a WLAN issue per se.
    I have done several implementations of Citrix over WLAN for hospitals. Most of the time if there are connection interruptions, it boils down to one of two problems.
    1.) Interference: Hospitals are very hostile environments for RF. Various building materials, large machinery, and irregular shapes in the floorplan make it difficult for RF to travel consistently.
    2.) Citrix settings: Citrix is a highly configurable application. There are session timeout settings which can be tweaked which may make the system more tolerant to momentary lapses in connectivity.
    My suggestion would be to see if the issue is limited to Citrix traffic only; and if it is, look at how Citrix is configured. If you're finding sub-par performance with all wireless traffic, then maybe it's an interference issue that keeps knocking you off the WLAN. If that is the case, I would suggest a professional wireless consultant should come in and decide on the best methods for giving you more consistent service.
    Hope this helps! If so, please rate.

  • Autonomous to LWAPP - Air1261 APs

    Hi All,
    I have just download the Auto-to-LWAPP upgrade tool and it is saying that it does not upgrade Air1261 from Auto-to-LWAPP, is it so? If yes, then what is the procedure to convert Air 1261 APs from Autonomous to LWAPP?
    Also, when I start the upgrade tool, it says that a TFTP server is already running on the PC so it will start the application with "User external TFTP" option, however there is not TFTP running on my PC. Why this error is coming? Following is the snapshot of the error.
    Looking for valuable response.
    Regards,

    Take a look at these links as it will explain how to convert the AP's.

  • Upgrade 1120G from an autonomous to a lightweight accesspoint

    Hi!
    I have a network consisting of 22 autonomous Aironet 1120G accesspoints. Is it possible to upgarde these to lightweight accesspoints for using with a Cisco WLAN Controller?

    Hi Zach,
    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/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)

    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.

  • 1142 autonomous to lwapp

    hi folks:
    Has anyone of you tried to convert autonomous to lwapp mode? I used upgrade tool v3.4 and it said 1140 is not supported. Or is there any other way to do the conversion? Thanks.
    regards
    Alex

    Was it a LAP to begin with? If so, follow the "LWAPP revert to autonomous" steps using the recovery image as your file. Yes - I know you are going to LAP, not to autonomous. These steps worked great for me when going from autonomous back to LAP (without using the conversion tool):
    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.
