converting 1242ag to and from LWAPP

[Mark Graham]

is this possible, i need to convert a 1242AG Autonomous back and forth this weekend to use for a quick project for testing.  i need to do the following

take the AP into LWAPP mode (i know how to do this with the aironet utility) 

take the ap from LWAPP back into a AP mode so i can use it as my access point again. 

i did some quick looking and i found

debug capwap console cli

debug capwap client no-reload

archive tar /xtract tftp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/APimage.tar flash: delete /force /recursive flash:Current_LWAPPIOS reload

does that sound right?

I don't do the archive tar /xtract

The mode button is the easiest way to go from lightweight to autonomous and the archive is the fastest way to go from autonomous to lightweight. That's my preference. Mode button is the safe bet either way.

Don't do the xtract!
