Converting Autonomous AP to Lightweight

[fvaldivia]

Hi, Somebody knows if it is possible to convert an Autonomous AP 2602i to Lightweight just changing firmware as the first generation Aironet APs?

[Scott Fella]

Yes you can convert it to lightweight. Just need the lightweight recovery image.

IIRC:

Telnet into the Access Point

ap# archive-sw /overwrite /reload tftp://server_ip/ap3g2-rcvk9w8-tar.152-4.JB5.tar

and just let it rip.

should reboot, join in to your WLC and get its configurations if DHCP is set up correctly.

Worked like a charm! Thank you!

*Edited* the command i had to use was slightly different "archive download-sw /overwrite /reload tftp://<IP address>/ap3g2-k9w8-tar.152-4.JB5.tar"
