access point in ap: mode

[suthomas1]

Hi,

One of our 3502 is not loading with flash image, after someone erased flash.

the ap boots up & shows ap: prompt.

issuing a boot statement on this prompt gives message;

Loading "flash:/ap3g1-k9w8-mx.152-2.JB/ap3g1-k9w8-mx.152-2.JB"...flash:/ap3g1-k9

w8-mx.152-2.JB/ap3g1-k9w8-mx.152-2.JB: no such file or directory

Error loading "flash:/ap3g1-k9w8-mx.152-2.JB/ap3g1-k9w8-mx.152-2.JB"

Please help on how to restore this ap back with proper image & have it booted. Loading with autonomous image is also fine with us.

Please refer to this link as it will explain how to upload a new image. You will need a support contract to download the image.

Thanks Scott. I tried this using following:

ap: set IP_ADDR 192.168.100.2

ap: set NETMASK 255.255.255.0

ap: set DEFAULT_ROUTER 192.168.100.254

ap: tftp_init

tar -xtract tftp://192.168.100.1/images/ap3g1-k9w7-tar.152-4.JA1.tar flash:

tftp://192.168.100.1/images/ap3g1-k9w7-tar.152-4.JA1.tar: permission denied

It gives error of permission denied. there is no firewall turned on between this.

Appreciate all help.

permission denied

What machine is the TFTP?  If this is a Linux machine, make sure you allow READ permission on the file and folder.

[Scott Fella]

Verify the tftp root folder. Might be pointing to a different folder.
