Solved: No Global Configuration Mode?

ChrisHudd33513 · ‎04-14-2015

I'm sure this has something to do the RAM or Flash memory. This is an access point that's been sitting on the shelf and as far as I knew it was working. However, I can enter privileged mode but there is no "conf t" or configure terminal option. I tried holding down the Mode button on reboot but it didn't seem to change anything. I'm just trying to gain access to the gui. I see the IP address from an IP scanner I have but am not able to access it via web browser. This is all I'm seeing from priveledged mode.

Hi

As I suspected this AP has lightweight recovery image (C1130-RCVK9W8-M)

This mean you require a WLC to manage & configure this AP. If you have autonomous image (eg c1130-k9w7-tar.124-21a.JY.tar) then you can convert this to Autonomous & configure it normally.

Here is the conversion process

Does "show version" give any output ?

I wish I was a little more patient because this looks like a much simpler solution than I found. I ended up reloading the image it just took me a while to figure out how to do it. It was fun to work through it though. Thanks for the replies, I looked through the links you provided and it looks like that would have resolved it as well...and would have been easier. lol. Thanks

The AP is running in Lightweight mode , WLC is required to configure Lightweight AP . So you need to convert it to Autonomous AP then you can configure it through CLI or GUI .

One more question. I cannot find a wireless controller, that I know of. I'm looking for a 2504, the one I'm used to seeing, and have yet to find it. Is there a way this can be done with SDM or using a router with a wireless controller module(which i'm still looking for)?
