Hi there;
I have a cisco AP called "AIR-CAP2702E-E-K9" and I want to convert it from Lightweight to Autonomous. I read many post but I failed to do so. The problem I am experiencing is that no interface is shown in PuTTY so that I can do the configuration. Find bellow my steps I followed (I failed to pass step 12).
Kindly, help me to overcome this issue.
Thank you.
1. Log in to www.cisco.com
2. Click on "Support" at the top of the page.
3. Click the "Downloads" button.
4. Select "Wireless" from the left side.
5. Select "Access Points".
6. Select "Cisco 2700 Series Access Points".
7. Select Cisco Aironet 2702e Access Points".
8. Click "Autonomous AP IOS Software".
9. Connect to the AP using a console cable.
10. Power on the AP. If you have a POE switch then that way is best. If not use a power injector or power cord for the AP.
11. Start a TFTP server on your laptop or PC and set the LAN interface to 10.0.0.1 255.25.255.0
12. Open a serial connection to the AP. Once the boot up finishes log in. Remember the default password is Cisco.
13. Enter the following commands in this order:
- enable
- debug capwap console cli
- debug capwap client no-reload
- capwap ap ip address 10.0.0.2 255.255.255.0
- capwap ap ip default-gateway 10.0.0.1
- archive download-sw /force /overwrite tftp://10.0.0.1/filename.tar
14. Once the upload, extraction, and installation is complete (3 to 5 minutes) the AP will restart.
15. Once the restart is completed log in and do a show version command.
16. Verify the AP now provides access to the full suite of IOS commands.
17. Configure as needed.
