Will the cisco 1230 access point work in lighweight mode if it is using a radio?

Rob Huffman · ‎06-29-2007

The 1230 can be upgraded to LWAPP with the A Radio model listed below;

Solution Requirements

Migration from autonomous access point mode to lightweight mode is possible on these Cisco Aironet access point platforms:

All 1130AG access points

All 1240 AG access points

For all IOS-based 1200 series modular access point (1200/1220 Cisco IOS Software Upgrade, 1210 and **1230 AP**) platforms, it depends on the radio:

if 802.11G, MP21G and MP31G are supported

if 802.11A, RM21A and RM22A are supported

The 1200 series access points can be upgraded with any combination of supported radios: G only, A only, or both G and A.

All 1310 AG access points

Depends on what is your WLC. It doesn't matter if you are using 802.11a radio module or not.

The final firmware version that supports 1230 is 7.0.220.X. If you have a WLC that supports this firmware, then you are fine. If you have, for example a WLC 2000 then the answer is "no".
