Cisco AIR-SAP2602I autonomous mode http server not enable by default

[nknudragon]

HI Experts

I have a AIR-SAP2602I-T-K9. , it 's running autonomous mode .

SW : ap3g2-k9w7-tar.153-3.JF12 ( ( I upgrade the sw , but forget old image SW ver)

I've settup done following

ap(config)#ip http server

System is configured with default enable secret.Please change it before enabling HTTP Server

1. I've change as following , purpose is make http server enabled by default 

ap(config)#aaa new-model
ap(config)#aaa authentication login default local
ap(config)#username admin secret admin
ap(config)#username Cisco secret Cisco
ap(config)#ip http authentication local
ap(config)#ip http server

ap(config)#no sh 

ap#copy running-config startup-config

well , After above steps , the http server is enabled , but if I use reload / power off/on  the AP , I Expect the http server should be enabled again/by default, but it is not 

I need telnet/ssh into the AP and do the steps above again 

what i missing and how should i do , as my expection? 

Very thanks all for your help

You need to run the command

copy running-config startup-config  and not copy statup-config running-config.

Sorry , it is typo , i actually done this , i modify the post

Usually when IOS based device does not hold config even running the command copy, this can be related to config-register. I am not sure about APs and I dont have one now to check but try to see if you can check the config register and make sure it is setup correctly.

Try to factory reset the AP and if web browser it is not enabled by default, save and show default running config - I never had this problem on this AP model.

1. The IOS told you to change the enable secret from default.  You did not change the enable secret!  So do that for a start right? (and like it says do not use the default values)

2. IOS APs store their config in a file on the flash (emulated NVRAM). If the flash is corrupt the config could be corrupted and this was quite common on the old IOS APs especially in some code versions.  Use fsck flash: to check the filesystem.  If fsck can't fix it then the flash might be damaged and the AP should be replaced.

3. Upgrade to last IOS version 15.3.3-JF15 to make sure you have all available fixes:
