Hello forum,
I hope someone can help me with my situation. Let me start by saying I am a total beginner when it comes to configuring Cisco Access Points / Routers. So please in advance pardon my ignorance for some of my entries.
So I am going to try to give you all the information I have and hopefully someone can help me solve my problem.
I have a wireless access point, Cisco Aironet 1240ag series. When I turn it on it boots up to ap: prompt.
When I do "set" and enter I get the following:
BOOT=flash:/c1240-k9w7-mx.123-8.JEA/c1240-k9w7-mx.123-8.JEA
ENABLE_BREAK=no (can someone tell me what this does?)
IOS_STATIC_IP_ADDR=192.168.10.70 (can someone tell me what this does?)
IOS_STATIC_NETMASK=255.255.255.0
IP_ADDR=10.0.0.1 (I think this sets the IP to the WAP)
NETMASK=255.255.255.2554
TERMLINES=0 (can someone tell me what this does?)
Not sure what each of those lines mean but after doing some research I was able to find that I should clear all this out using the "unset" command. And start with a new set of entries.
After using the "unset" command for each line, I typed the "set" command again to make sure everything is gone. I got the following output. "ap: ". All the entries were gone.
The WAP is connected to one computer via serial RS232. This is used to run my putty.
I also have a Ethernet connection to another computer where I have my TFTP server running. The IP to this computer is 172.19.134.1, Mask 255.255.255.0, GATEWAY 172.19.134.1
The IOS file is located at C:\Program Files\Tftpd32
The IOS file name is "c1240-k9w7-tar.123-8.JEA.tar"
The Tftp server settings are:
Current Directory: C:\Program Files\Tftpd32
Server Interface : 172.19.134.1
Base Directory: C:\Program Files\Tftpd32
Tftp Security: none
Timeout 3 seconds
Max Retransmit 6
Tftp Port 69
Under Advance TFTP Options
Option Negotiation is checked off
Show Progress Bar is checked off
Translate Unix Files Names is checked off
Bind TFTP to this address is checked off to IP 172.19.134.1
My putty settings are:
Comp1
Speed 9600
Data Bits 8
Stop bit 1
Parity None
Flow control None
I entered the following settings in the WAP.
ap: set IP_ADDR 172.19.134.20 (I thing this assigns the IP to the WAP)
ap: set NETMASK 255.255.255.0
ap: set DEFAULT_ROUTER 172.19.134.1 (Same IP as my tftp server)
ap: tftp_init
ap: ether_init
ap: flash_init
tar -xtract tftp:// 172.19.134.1/ c1240-k9w7-tar.123-8.JEA.tar flash:
After entering this command I get a popup box with the title bar showing my IOS file (c1240-k9w7-tar.123-8.JEA.tar ), file size 512000, 0 Bytes sent, 0 Bytes /sec
Under the Tftp Server tab I see this information:
Peer 172.19.134.20:1030 (WAP IP address)
File <c1240-k9w7-tar.123-8.JEA.tar> (IOS file located in tftp)
Start Time 17:29:42
Progress 0%
after a few seconds I get "info device busy" message.
Both computers have the firewall disabled. Is it possible I need to change the baud rate higher to my putty?
Thanks,
Peter
