Wireless AP 1041 Autonomous to Lightweight

Is it possible to convert a 1041 in Autonomous AP mode to Lightweight? Since on the cco page there is no upgrade tool under the 1040 series AP,
and also i didnt find any document with the procedure.
Thanks in advace.

Error when migrating AP 2600 from Autonomous to Lightweight

Hello,
I am trying to migrating AP 2600 series that came with autonomous image 15.2 to lightweight using the Cisco Prime Infrastructure built-in migration template.
The AP successfully downloads the image from an external TFTP server but fails at updating the environment variables.
The logs show that the AP should download a text file from Cisco Prime but fails to do so:

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,
Patrick

Vikas,
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:

Converting a 1260AP from Autonomous to Lightweight mode

Is the process for converting 1260 APs to lightweight mode any different from converting 1140s or 1250s? I've converted several APs to LWAP mode but this is my first 1260. Four 1260s need to be converted.
I have one in a remote location that seems to be comatose. Here are the steps I took to convert the AP. Did skip/miss a step?
1. uploaded code to the AP ap3g1-rcvk9w8-tar.152-2.JB.tar
2. configured the AP for DHCP. It successfully leased a DHCP address. Controller information is provided via DHCP Option 43.
3. saved the configuration
4. verified the code, successful
5. disabled wireless radios
6. installed the lightweight code using the command archive download-sw /safe flash:/ap3g1-rcvk9w8-tar.152-2.JB.tar
The installation was successful
7. rebooted the AP
After that nothing. The AP has not leased another IP address. The switchport is active. The APs MAC address is registering in the switches MAC address table. The AP is receiveing PoE from the switch. I noticed that this AP is only receiving 6.2W of power where the three are getting anywhere between 8.8W and 9.3W. I am unable to ping the old static IP of the AP too.
Any suggestions?

can you console into the AP and post it's boot up cycle? Let it capture for two reboots of the AP.
Can you also share the config of the switchport this AP is connected to?

Steve

"Poor Signal", "Coverage hole pre alarm for client" after changing from Autonomous to Lightweight infrastruture

Dears,
I use to have wireless infrastructure based on autonomous APs 1142n, auth w/ 802.1x and everything was fine.
My Company decided to implement WLC 5508, and I changed only 2nd floor (2 APs) as lightweight and implement WLC over there as pilot testing...
Now All persons here (around 35 clients) are complaining about disconnections, poor signal...
Both APs are distant each other maximim of 15 meters... Our office has a medium open spaced room, with (20 X 15 meters) only 2 "Pilaster" in the middle of the room.
I am facing this message at WLC logs

Actually I am using both APs as lightweight in 2nd floor.
How about this power level? where I can find those parameters ?
At 3rd floor all APs are autonomous, I accessed one of them and find this parameter

Upgrade AP1262N to LAP1262 autonomous to lightweight

Hi,
This is one of our first site where we are implementing Cisco wireless, and we bought some external Autonomous AP1262, when we should have bought Lightweight LAP1262 . We can get those replaced, but I am looking into migrating them in order to get them to register with our 5508 controllers.
There do not seem to be a migration tool to download for 1262. Must it be done via the WCS ?
So far I have not managed to add these autonomous AP to the controllers.
Thanks to let me know if a migration toll exists for those !
Best Regards,
Gregory Gout

Use the archive command. You just need I download the rcv (recovery image) from CCO. Upgrade tool will not work and this is easy to do.
If you choose to overwrite the existing file, issue the archive download-sw /overwrite /reload tftp: //location/image-name command. The /overwrite option overwrites the software image in flash with the downloaded image. The /reload option reloads the system after you download the image unless the configuration is changed and not saved. For //location, specify the IP address of the TFTP server. For image name, specify the Cisco IOS filename that you plan to use to upgrade the access point. In this example, the command is archive download-sw /overwrite /reload tftp: //10.77.244.194/c1240-k9w7-tar.124-10b.JA3.tar. As mentioned earlier, do not change the name of the Cisco IOS file. Leave it as the default. You find these logs during the successful file transfer:

Convert Autonomous to lightweight AP - Static IP Address

Hi,
I've converted a couple of Autonomous APs to lightweight recently and once they reboot they have a static IP configured on them, which then requires console access to remove the static IP.
Below are the commands I run to convert the AP:
AP#archive tar /xtract ftp://username:password@FTP Server IP/ap1g2-rcvk9w8-tar.152-2.JB3.tar flash:/
AP(config)#boot system flash:/filename
AP#copy run start
Is there something I'm missing in my process which will prevent the AP from having a static IP address when it reboots and loads the lightweight image?
Thanks,

AP#copy run start
Instead of saving the config, you need to delete the config using the command "wr default".

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/
Normal method is described here

How to upgrade an Aironet 3602e from Autonomous to Lightweight???

Hi everyone
Hope you can help me with this. I have an Aironet 3602e that was bought as a Lightweight AP, last week need to do some testing and changed the image to an Autonomous one. Now I need to use it with a Controller, but can´t find the procedure to upgrade it to Lightweight again.
I tried the procedure of the upgrade tool, but it saids that this AP is nos supported.
Anyone who has this information please. I already had the Lightweight images.
Best Regards
Alvaro Rugama

HI Alvaro,
For the LWAP conversion, use the recovery image. We can use this command on the autonomous AP priviledge mode.
AP#archive download-sw /force-reload /overwrite tftp://10.10.10.1/image.tar

Hope it helps.

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/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.

1242 autonomous and/or lightweight?

I have some 1242s and I can't get a straight answer on whether they can do both autonomous and lightweight or just lightweight.
Model number: AIR-LAP1242AG-A-K9.
I'm assuming that the 'L' in the model numbers means it's just lightweight, but searching Cisco's site and the Internet in general it's just not clear.
I know it works as a lightweight AP, can I run it in autonomous mode?
-Mike

Hi Mike,
I have some 1242s and I can't get a straight answer on whether they can do both autonomous and lightweight or just lightweight.
It's either autonomous or lightweight. It can't be "both".
I'm assuming that the 'L' in the model numbers means it's just lightweight, but searching Cisco's site and the Internet in general it's just not clear.
It's not indicative. The question is the IOS being loaded.
I know it works as a lightweight AP, can I run it in autonomous mode?
Depends on what you have in your network but generally, yes. The proceedure is below:
