Problems downloading an IOS image onto the device

Afternoon all,

I'm trying to download an image file (C1130-k9w7-tar.124-10b.JA.tar) onto a Cisco wireless application point.

It's currently got boot loader version C1130-BOOT-M) on it and I've followed the instructions to get the IOS file down onto it. Basically, rename the image file from Cisco's website to be C1130-k9w7-tar.default and used xmodem to get it onto the device.

Once done and I run dir flash: I get

ap: dir flash:
Directory of flash:/

2 -rwx 5560320 <date> c1130-k9w7-tar.default
3 -rwx 168 <date> env_vars

When rebooting the device I get:

ap: reset
Are you sure you want to reset the system (y/n)?y

Xmodem file system is available.

The system is unable to boot automatically because there
are no bootable files to boot.

Any thoughts gratefully appreciated!

AP(config)#boot system flash <image name>

I hope this works.

Cheers so far - tried boot system flash:<image name> and it came back with magic number mismatch. Just downloading a 12.3 image to try it and will let you know how I got on...

ok, holding fingers crossed!

I think you can install cygwin (are you running windows?) or 7-zip to extract the ios from the tar.gz archive then load the .bin ios onto the access point.

neos2k1

As stated above please copy the .bin image to ap and the use the above command.

OK folks,

Managed to get an image down onto the AP and can finally get into the IOS. I would like to try and configure it using the web front end but when I go to access it and click on the "web console", I get a "404 not found".

Thoughts and suggestions again please! You've been ace so far.

can you ping your device?
if yes, check that you have http server enabled on device

to enable it:
conf t
ip http server

Yep, done that and also enabled the https server to make sure that it wasn't just the https server that was causing the problem.

I can log in OK and can get to all other options on the router like monitoring and "show tech support" but just not the one that says "web console"!

Ta.

hi!
have you configured your box?
is everything ok?

Tried a different method of downloading the whole tar file and then untarring it once on the WAP. Worked a treat. Thanks for all the advice - well worth it!
