LAP 1131AG hangs upon bootup

dbakopanos — Sun, 04 Jul 2021 03:07:48 GMT

Okay after downgrading my AP from LWAPP to an autonomous system the console prompt hangs at the File "flash:/c12-k9w7-mx.122-15.JA.....uncompressing and 0 executing...

what could be wrong?

sorry dude but what IOS did you used?!

I mean that was like the first IOS mad in history!!!!!!!

download a 12.4 code por autonomous... not 12.2 :-s

THAT MUST BE THE ISSUE...

HEHE

The real problem is that you uploaded a 1200 series IOS to a 1131...

okay now I think I blew it, I get to recovery mode and now I'm stuck. I can't seem to get it to boot from the TFTP server. when I try to use the ether_init it says it fails.

never I had to do it from a tftp server

The system has been encountered an error initializing

The system is ignoring the error and continuing boot.
If you interrupt the system boot process, the following
commands will reinitialize ethernet, tftp, and finish
loading the operating system software:

    ether_init
    tftp_init
    boot

I tried to manually set the config but that didn't help

ap: set

well or just use teamviewer or the skype video display... anything that shows me your screen can be helpful.

You already have the TFTP and the IOS?

Re: LAP 1131AG hangs upon bootup

i think the main trouble is this

ap: ether_init
Initializing ethernet port 0...
Reset ethernet port 0...
Reset done!
link auto-negotiating....
auto-negotiation takes 10000 milli-seconds to complete
ERROR: timeout waiting for auto-negotiation to complete
ERROR: fail to bring ethernet link up

now I set the variables to the following:

ap: set
DEFAULT_GATEWAY=10.0.0.1
DEFAULT_ROUTER=10.0.0.1
IP_ADDR=10.0.0.1
IP_SUBNET=255.255.255.224
NETMASK=255.0.0.0
TFTP_FILE=c1130-k9w7-tar.default
TFTP_SERVER=10.0.0.2

Re: LAP 1131AG hangs upon bootup

dmantill — Wed, 27 Apr 2011 00:40:23 GMT

I need to know the TFTP IP address and its path with thefile name of the IOS

do you have any chat method?

Re: LAP 1131AG hangs upon bootup

dbakopanos — Wed, 27 Apr 2011 00:47:43 GMT

addr:10.0.0.2

and the tftp server is setup in the root directory. so when you call the file it is already in the root directory.

c1130-k9w7-tar.default

dbakopanos — Wed, 27 Apr 2011 01:00:27 GMT

I changed the cable from crossover to straight, becaused I used a crossover to downgrade the router to an AP. what was the command syntax you used?

last but not least, where do i send the six pack of beer?

Re: LAP 1131AG hangs upon bootup

dmantill — Wed, 27 Apr 2011 01:07:19 GMT

no no, I didnt setup anything about the ethernet...

I did a reset (reload) I init: flash, TFTP, and Ethernet interface after that I ran the tar -xtract tftp://10.0.0.2/c1130-k9w7-tar.default flash:

set BOOT flash:/c1130-k9w7-mx.124-25d.JA/c1130-k9w7-mx.124-25d.JA

rommon is usually tricky i have seen some issues with it that is why I requested access to the unit..

I have seen some times that it requires a reset to accept some commands, or as tricky that you need to keep pressing space or the transfer will fail..

For the six pack dont worry the shipping might be even nmore expensive to where i am located (costa rica)

so rate my post with 5s and mark it as solved and the other (1) some day I might bother with some linux questions (hehe)

session closed btw

any other question just let me know..
