AIR-LAP1042N-E-K9 %CAPWAP-5-DHCP_RENEW

[serdar.bsgn1]

               It keeps saying %CAPWAP-5-DHCP_RENEW: Could not discover WLC using DHCP IP
. Renewing DHCP IP. then nothing happens. I want to turn device defaults and i dont know how. 

               I'm using Hyperterminal to access my device.

Exactly what are you trying to do/achieve?

[serdar.bsgn1]

Just want to configurate it and use as an Access point thats all

Autonomous or controller-based?

[serdar.bsgn1]

I dont know what means the words you said but it can be a lot of easier if i can just do it like other modems aps etc. On the chrome or another browser i cant do anything with terminal

Autonomous: Standalone AP (Work alone)

Lightweight AP: Only work with Cisco Wireless LAN Controller

AIR-LAP1042N-E-K9 %CAPWAP-5-DHCP_RENEW

This error means, you have a Lightweight AP.

To use it without Controller, you must need to change it to Autonomous

How to convert Lightweight to Autonomous:

1.fllow the procedue on this post.

After conversion you just need to configure it:

I understand what to do but i cant find the image file in the site it says end of sale end of life for my device.

Thank you for your help

To do the conversion you need an autonomous image like

c1140-k9w7-tar.153-3.JBB.tar

The images for the 1040s and 1140s are all called the same and they are available for download on the Cisco page. Just look on the support tab > Download search and look for 1040 Series Access Point and select the autonomous version. I an seeing the page while I type this and it is available for download.

If you have problems with the download and if the device is under contract or warranty, you can open a TAC case and we will provide the image to you. We can even help you out with the conversion if we need to.

Best regards,

conf t

interface GigabitEthernet0

you have a 1042 with a GigE port, not a FastEthernet port.

HTH,

Yes it helped thank you. Now I should do this command and there is an error again

archive download-sw /force-reload /overwrite tftp://10.0.0.1/ c1140-k9w7-tar.153-3.JB.tar,

where should i place this file in my pc? (1140-k9w7-tar.153-3.JB.tar)

[Stephen Rodriguez]

it would need to be placed in your TFTP servers root folder.

Steve

[serdar.bsgn1]

If I have made a mistake please correct me but that invalid input again...

[Sandeep Choudhary]

Hi,

Don't keep the space between IP and image name on this command:

archive download-sw /force-reload /overwrite tftp://10.0.0.1/c1140-k9w7-tar.153-3.JB.tar
