3502i Autonomous to Lightweight

[aravinda099]

Does anyone know how to convert a 3502 access point from Autonomous to Lightweight ? 3502 has a new IOS released back in Dec 2012 to work as staandalone mode. I need to convert this back to Lightweight mode.

I have been searching on web but have had no luck so far with anything. Tried converting it to lightweight in the same way as putting it on Autonomous IOS but errored out.

Thanks Najaf. I just realized what I did wrong. I followed this procedure and it worked.

What I missed was to rename the image. After reading this I realized what I did wrong.

The fastest way is to copy the RCV file from the TFTP server to the AP, change the bootstring to boot the RCV file, and then boot the AP.
