wireless ap default factory setting

dave dave — Sun, 04 Jul 2021 05:40:40 GMT

hi! has anyone successfully resetting an light weight 1130 AP to the factory settings? I tried the method described in the doc for 1130 on how to reset 1130 AP to the default settings, but it was not successful. I tried shutdown the AP, and plug in the power while press and holding the Mode button for about 3 seconds.

This AP has lost it association with the WLC, is there anyway i can reset the AP to factory default and put in the correct IP address again?

Thx.

If you don't know the username and password, then you need to boot to ROMMON:

Hold reset for over 30 seconds to get to ROMMON

ap:delete flash:private-config

ap:delete flash:private-multiple-fs

ap:boot

Your AP will be factory default

Here are the steps to reset a lightweight access point to factory defaults:

- Unplug the access point from the network.

- Perform a power cycle.

- When the IOS is load login to the access point (default password: Cisco)

- Run the following command: Show flash

(output example)

14 drwx 320 Mar 2 2002 03:14:32 +00:00 c1130-rcvk9w8-tar.123-11JX1

4 drwx 256 Jan 20 2006 20:38:02 +00:00 c1130-k9w8-mx.123-7.JX2

12 -rwx 525184 Mar 1 2002 00:00:32 +00:00 r1.rcore

9 -rw 5777 Mar 7 2002 17:51:52 +00:00 login.html

10 -rwx 1784 Mar 1 2002 23:21:56 +00:00 config.txt

13 -rwx 5 Mar 1 2002 23:21:56 +00:00 private-config

If you see the following image (this is an example, just look at the rcvk9w8):

c1130-rcvk9w8-tar.123-11JX1 (rcvk9w8 --> this is the lightweight image and you should keep it).

Erase all other images by running the following command:

delete /recursive flash:

Per example:

delete /recursive flash:c1130-k9w8-mx.123-7.JX2

Now we need to erase the private-config (where the IP of the access point and of the controller is saved) using the following command:

AP1130#clear lwapp private-config

Now you can configure the access point statically and enter the IP address of the new controller if you want:

AP#lwapp ap hostname AP1130

AP1130#lwapp ap ip address 10.77.244.199 255.255.255.224

AP1130#lwapp ap ip default-gateway 10.77.244.220

AP1130#lwapp ap controller ip address 172.16.1.50

Note: Depending on the lightweight version of software that you are running you might need to use capwap instead of lwapp

Now the access point should be able to join the controller.

Here is a link that explains the last part of this procedure:

I hope this helps.

Hi,

Three easy steps to Reset Cisco AP using MODE button:

https://youtu.be/eGCnTWBEpp8

Step 1: Disconnect power (the power jack for external power or the Ethernet cable for in-line power) from the access point.
Step 2: Press and hold the MODE button while you reconnect power to the access point.
Step 3: Hold the MODE button until the Status LED turns amber (approximately 10 to 12 seconds), and release the Button. All access point settings return to factory defaults.
