Dear All,
We have an AIR-LAP1142N-E-K9 deployed in a H-REAP setup.
This AP already got the configuration from the WLC when it was deployed at a remote site.
Now we moved it to another site, but it doesn't appear in the WCS and i don't see any CAPWAP debug messages on the WLC.
The routing work fine between the AP and the WLC, the AP also gets an IP address from DHCP and also received Option 43 information.
Now my guess was that the AP doesn't associate with the WLC because it has the old config file and it runs in local mode(without trying to connect to the WLC).
We want to reset to factory defaults because we want to delete the configuration and force the AP to get a new config from the WCS.
I don't know the enable password so i had to use other methods for reseting to factory defaults.
I tried to use the information from here:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/wireless/access_point/12.4_21a_JA1/configuration/guide/scg12421aJA1-chap22-trouble.html#wp1058433
I used the "MODE button":
I get the following message from the console:
"button pressed for 5 seconds
process_config_recovery: set IP address and config to default 10.0.0.1
"
But after the reboot the config is not reset, because the AP still has the same hostname and i also get error messages when the AP reads the configuration:
ip ssh version 2
^
% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.
transport input ssh
^
% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.
aaa new-model
^
% Invalid input detected at '^' marker.
Next thing i tried was to use the CLI and to delete the config files from the boot loader mode.
But in this case, after reaching the "ap:" prompt and entering the "dir flash:" command, i don't see the file name "config.text".
This file should hold the config and it should be renamed, but how can i rename it if it's not there ?
Can someone tell me a working procedure on how to reset the AP to factory defaults?
You can see attached a log from Putty, after i used the MODE button to delete the config.
Thanks in advance,
Adrian
