the correct way...

[IngGerardo013]

Hello guys,

I have the next situation, 9 LAPs 1142N, i wish to convert them to autonomous, it seems that there is a 2 ways, with a simple copy tftp flash: commands and force them to charge the IOS.default  image(holding the mode button), what is the correct way??

I used the first one (copy tftp flash and etc commands) decompressing the winrar file downloaded (c1140-k9w7-tar.124-25d.JA1) and just selecting the .JA file inside, then using the boot system command, but when a try to use the browser appears with out menus! buttons and etc options!, I supose that I need to charge ALL winrar file, but how? some suggestion??

Sorry 4 my English hehehe...

use the second method with mode button. the first method is meant to be used from the wlc controller

This is the image with the error, I have connected a direct utp cable between AP and PC, no firewall and no antivirus

Some sugestion?

Did you put your PC NIC card  on the 10.0.0.x network? The AP takes 10.0.0.1 so your PC with the TFTP should be 10.0.0.2 or something higher ..

Did you do that ?

[IngGerardo013]

Yes I did,

Have you tried this command

archive tar /xtract tftp:///filename.tar flash:

Thanks

If you have downloded the image from Cisco.com, can you try to download the image again from cisco site and extract the file. Just want to make sure the tar file is not corrupt

Thanks

How can I know that(image is not corrupt)??..

[pcroak]

Hello,

The alternative method to using the MODE button is as follows:

1. Download the image from cisco.com -- do not modify the file archive.

2. Issue the following commands on the lightweight AP:

debug capwap console cli

archive download-sw /force /over tftp:///

This will automatically download and extract the tar image, and remove the lightweight image (and reload the AP when finished). Please let me know if this works for you!

This was the result:

[pcroak]

Hello,

that looks like the file was not found -- we need to remember that the image archive has a file extension of .tar (even if extensions are hidden)

so the command should be:

archive download-sw /force /over tftp://10.0.0.2/c1140-k9w7-tar.124-25d.JA1.tar

Please try this one more time and let me know!

The same problem.. despite of pings between them!!

[Leo Laohoo]

1.  When you performed the "mode" button proceedure, what is the IP address and subnet mask of the TFTP server?

2.  How is your AP connected to your TFTP server?

3.  What application is your TFTP server?

[IngGerardo013]

1.- 10.0.0.2 /24 bits

2.- using a small switch

3.- TFTP Server Manager version 4.0
