So i try to see this:

Hi there,

Configure the device running the TFTP service with an IP address of 10.0.0.3 /24 . Take the IOS image you are trying to use and rename it: ap3g1-k9w7-tar.default

...place this image in your TFTP root directory.

Now when you power cycle the AP the TFTP should respond and the AP will download and run the image.

Once you have booted up you will need to download the the IOS image with the full and correct filename to flash and set the boot var.

cheers,

Seb.

tftp is read only. maybe the problem is this?

Seb Rupik · ‎09-07-2020

Hi there,

tftp is marked read-only as it is a file system which can only be read from.

Assuming you have set the laptop/ PC IP to 10.0.0.3 and renamed the Autonomous image, try the following command from the 'ap:' prompt:

tftp_init

ether_init

flash_init

boot tftp://10.0.0.3/ap3g1-k9w7-tar.default

If that doesn't work, try extracting the contents to flash:

tar -xtract tftp://10.0.0.3/ap3g1-k9w7-tar.default flash:

...once the above action completes, you should find a software image in the root filesystem, it will have the full filename with version name. you can then boot it, eg:

set BOOT flash:/ap3g1-k9w8-tar.152-2.JA

boot

cheers,

Seb.

Hi, Seb Rubik very helpfull. Thanks!
Now I getting this message on the AP.

I want to enter GUI and can setting on it. Then the scenario is the device will be set as Acces Point getting internet from my Modem.

ap#sho ip int br
Interface IP-Address OK? Method Status Protocol
BVI1 unassigned YES DHCP up up
Dot11Radio0 unassigned YES unset administratively down down
Dot11Radio1 unassigned YES unset administratively down down
GigabitEthernet0 unassigned YES TFTP up up

Seb Rupik · ‎09-13-2020

The BVI should be in the same bridge-group as Gi0 in the default configuration. Try something like:

!
int bvi1
  ip address dhcp
  no shut
!

and connect it to a network interface on your router. Assuming your modem is configured to hand out DHCP addresses on its switchports, the AP will be assigned an IP address and you should be able to connect to the webGUI.

cheers,

Seb.

Hope these steps cover as per your message to me.

correct command - ap: dir flash:/

here is the good video cover full :

download TFTP Server - https://tftpd32.software.informer.com/

@leo made a nice steps : ( change the image name as per the requirement)

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:

Disable any software firewall products, such as Windows firewall, ZoneAlarm firewall, McAffee firewall, or others.
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.
