Cisco 2112 WALN Controller unable to detect Aironet 1252

[petermikula]

I'm new to this.

Got new Aironet 1252 and trying to hook up to 2112 Controller. There are already two existing WAPs linked to the controller but the new one is not showing up. I need step-by-step instructions how to get it working as I'm not sure where to start

I attached the config of the aironet

Please assist

Hi,

The AP is in Autononous mode.. so it will not work with the WLC till we convert itto LWAPP or CAPWAP... Please download the latest capwap / LWAPP image from the below link for1252 AP ( image = c1250-rcvk9w8-tar.124-21a.JA2.tar                                                                                                                                                                                                                               )

and then get the TFTPd32 on your laptop and install it.. make sure the AP and the laptop ethernet interface are in the same subnet and try pinging the AP bvi inte IP from your LAptop.. if we are able to then..

Point the image on the tftp server by going to the right directory.. then issue the belkow command ..

ap#archive download-sw /force-reload /overwrite tftp:///image.tar

ex

Assuming 10.10.10.1 is ur tftp server.. change accordingly..

ap#archive download-sw /force-reload /overwrite tftp://10.10.10.1/c1250-rcvk9w8-tar.124-21a.JA2.tar

This will reload and come up with LWAPP image and the AP will join the WLC and thne you need to configure on the WLC to get this up based on your requirements...

lemme know if this answered your question..

Regards
Surendra
