Cisco 2702 image issue

[yogesh1]

Dear All,

I have 2702 Lightweight AP & I try to convert the same in Autonomous AP by changing firmware ap3g2-k9w7-tar.153-3.JPK.tar. Only challenge I am facing during firmware upload from TFTP server to AP. AP try to discover WLC & change static Interface IP to DHCP. Method change from Manual to DHCP so communication between TFTP & Machine is break.

Is it possible to disable WLC discovery by any CLI command so I can easily upload autonomous image to AP. Please find the error screenshot in attachment. Please suggest command so BVI AP interface will not change interface type manual to DHCP automatically.

ERROR:

There is no way you can disable CAPWAP discovery process in a light weight AP.
