The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Converting Cisco Aironet 1130AG from Lightweight to Autonomous mode

Asked by MACROLEVEL in Wireless Network Access Points, Network Routers, Wireless Technologies

Tags: Cisco, Aironet, Aironet 1130AG, firmware image, IOS, Lightweight, Autonomous mode

Hello!

Probably a year ago I got brand new Cisco Aironet 1130AG (AIR-LAP1131AG-A-K9) along with ASA5505. I was able to set ASA for my small network, but I found that Aironet AP is not compatible with ASA because it is loaded with Lightweight Access Point Protocol image. I did some research and I am pretty sure that this AP can be converted to regular AP which will operate as Autonomous Access Point.

The problem is that I don't know how and all the information I found online is too complicated or inapplicable.

AP is powered on via power adapter. I can't open web-based utility using this IP address and I cannot connect to AP using Telnet via serial port (the message is something like LWAPP_CLIENT_ERROR: lwapp_name_lookup - Could not resolve CISCO-LWAPP-CONTROLLER.myhome....).

Indicators when the cover is open: Ethernet blinks green and Radio blinks amber continuously). If Aps cover is closed, the indicator ring is running through sequence of green, red and amber.

I did install a TFTP server on my laptop and copied the image I downloaded from Cisco which I believe is correct one for autonomous mode (c1130-k9w7-tar.124-10b.JA.tar) and copied it to TFTP-Root folder. Then I connected 1130-AG to the same network segment as my laptop (192.168.2.xxx, DHCP server is running on ASA).  I can't restart the device even if I press the "Mode" button (which is I believe the reset button also) for more than 10 sec - there is no difference in indication and nothing coming up on TFTP server window.

Please help me flash this AP. I may need some details how to do so as this is my first Cisco AP and I have no experience using TFTP and flashing Cisco equipment at all.
