Need more information... you running autonomous or mobility express? Autonomous, you can issue a show run or tftp/ftp the config and modify it then tftp/ftp it to the new one. Mobility Express, you just add the ap to the same subnet and it would join as long as you have to correct image.

1. Can your AP reach 10.0.0.2 - for example can you ping that IP from the AP?
2. Are you running a TFTP server on that IP?
3. Like Scott said above - have you disabled the firewall or added a rule to allow access to the TFTP server?
4. Have you configured the TFTP server? How you do that depends on what software you use - check the instructions/help/readme for that software. Normally at a minimum you need to configure what folder the TFTP server uses as root and the folder/files need to be readable/writable by everyone.
5 Start your TFTP server and watch the TFTP server logs when try to upload the file.

Question do i need to change the IP address on the existing AP to 10.0.0.2 ?
- No. That must be the IP address of the TFTP server where you are trying to TFTP the file to.
1. Can your AP reach 10.0.0.2 - for example can you ping that IP from the AP? NO I can't
- if the AP can't reach that IP then TFTP won't work obviously! Make sure your IP routing between the AP and the server is working first before you try to use TFTP.

Hi Scott,
Thank you for getting back to me!
I know for sure I have the right image, I already copied the right image to it. This is my network the two existing assess points are connected to a SG220 switch and I have port ready for the new one and the switch connected to ASA 5506-X firewall. So if I connect one of the two exiting AP to Console cable am I able to copy the Configurations and paste it in the new one of course I need to give the new one new static IP address. Am I saying right?

Thank you.

Thank you Scott for your help. I will figure out.
Thanks!!

Yeah... its pretty simple depending on the tftp or ftp server you use. Probably best to try to download the config first from the device to see if that works and verify the location of the file, then you know for sure you will be able to upload a file from that directory.

I thought you mentioned that you will just copy and paste the configurations line by line? So exactly what do you want to do? Upload a configuration file that you must created and edit yourself or paste the configurations from the CLI using putty or securecrt for example?

so I tried with TFTP server but I am getting Error I know I am doing something wrong somewhere. below what i did
AP03#copy running-config flash:AP3config.txt
Destination filename [AP3config.txt]?ENTER
%Warning:There is a file already existing with this name
Do you want to over write? [confirm] ENTER
AP03#copy flash:AP3config.txt tftp:
Address or name of remote host []? 10.0.0.2
Destination filename [AP3config.txt]? ENTER
and then getting
%Error opening tftp://10.0.0.2/AP3config.txt (Timed out)

Hi Rruding,
Below are my answers. Question do i need to change the IP address on the existing AP to 10.0.0.2 ?
1. Can your AP reach 10.0.0.2 - for example can you ping that IP from the AP? NO I can't
2. Are you running a TFTP server on that IP? YES I am
3. Like Scott said above - have you disabled the firewall or added a rule to allow access to the TFTP server? Fire Wall is off also made a rule to allow TFTP
4. Have you configured the TFTP server? How you do that depends on what software you use - check the instructions/help/readme for that software. Normally at a minimum you need to configure what folder the TFTP server uses as root and the folder/files need to be readable/writable by everyone.
5 Start your TFTP server and watch the TFTP server logs when try to upload the file. There is no log
