Here s a quick walk through to get a Cisco AP in my case an
1130AG from a controll er based LWAPP image back to the autonomous
image so it can be used as a standa lone AP again. Retrieve the
latest IOS image for your AP from Cisco.com Retreive TFTPD for use
as your TFTP server from here You ll need a PC with a static IP
(10.0.0.1/24 for this example) to wire your AP s traight into
during the procedure, with the TFTP server running, all firewalls d
isabled and the IOS image available in the TFTP root. Step 1: Make
sure that the PC contains the access point image file (such as c113
0-k9w7-tar.124-10b.JDA3.tar for an 1130 series access point) in the
TFTP server folder and that the TFTP server is activated. Step 2:
Set the timeout value on the TFTP server to 30 seconds. Step 3: On
the PC where the TFTP server is located, perform these steps: a.
Disable any software firewall products, such as Windows firewall,
ZoneAlarm f irewall, McAffee firewall, or others. b. Ensure all
Windows files are visible. From Windows Explorer, click Tools >
Fo lder Options > View; then uncheck the Hide extensions for
known file types check box. Step 4: Connect the PC to the access
point using a Category 5 Ethernet cable. Step 5: Disconnect power
from the access point. Step 6: Press and hold MODE while you
reconnect power to the access point. Step 7: Hold the MODE button
until the status LED turns red (approximately 20 to 30 seconds) and
then release. Step 8: Enable LWAPP console CLI allow/disallow
debugging #debug lwapp con cli Step 9: Enable LWAPP ignore internal
reload debugging #debug lwapp client no-reload Step 10: Configure
IP Address on the fast ethernet interface of the AP #conf t
(config)#interface fa0 (config-if)#ip addr 10.0.0.2 255.255.255.0
Step 11: Download the image file from the TFTP server to the AP
#archive download-sw /overwrite
tftp://10.0.0.1/c1130-k9w7-tar.124-10b.JDA3.tar Step 12: Reload the
unit once the image has been written and the process reports
complete. #reload.Note This section does not apply to Cisco
C3201WMIC and Cisco C3201LAP.Follow these steps to revert from
LWAPP mode to autonomous mode by loading a Cis co IOS release using
a TFTP server: Step 1 The static IP address of the PC on which your
TFTP server software runs s hould be between 10.0.0.2 and
10.0.0.30. Step 2 Make sure that the PC contains the access point
image file (such as c1130 -k9w7-tar.122-15.JA.tar for a 1130 series
access point) in the TFTP server folde r and that the TFTP server
is activated. Step 3 On the PC where the TFTP server is located,
perform these steps: a. Disable any software firewall products,
such as Windows firewall, ZoneAlarm f irewall, McAfee firewall, or
others. b. Ensure all Windows files are visible. From Windows
Explorer, click Tools > Fo lder Options > View > Show
hidden files and folders. Step 4 Rename the access point image file
in the TFTP server folder to c1200-k9w 7-tar.default for a 1200
series access point, c1130-k9w7-tar.default for an 1130 series
access point, c1240-k9w7-tar.default for a 1240 series access
point, and c1250-k9w7-tar.default for a 1250 series access point.
Step 5 Connect the PC to the access point using a Category 5 (CAT5)
Ethernet cab le. Step 6 Disconnect power from the access point.
Step 7 Press and hold MODE while you reconnect power to the access
point. Step 8 Hold the MODE button until the status LED turns red
(approximately 20 to 30 seconds) and then release. Step 9 Wait
until the access point reboots, as indicated by all LEDs turning
gre en followed by the Status LED blinking green. Step 10 After the
access point reboots, reconfigure it using the GUI or the CLI.
