Hello All

I hope you are well

 

Please, I have an access point model AIR-AP1832I-E-K9 and given that I don't have a WLC I want to convert it into a mobility express version in order to use it as a standard access point.

 

I don't know which version I install of the two versions shown in the images below can you help me.

Hello Rasika

 

Thank you for your return and information

 

I want to use it as an access point and a WLC

 

From what I understood to convert the AP it is necessary to use the .tar file.

otherwise to use it as an AP and WLC you need something else or not ?

 

Thank you indvance.

 

Regards.

Once you convert to ME, it will act as WLC+AP, so what you require is using that .tar file to convert AP to ME mode

Do I need to install another firmware after conversion or not?
