AIR-AP1042N-X-K9 to LightWeight conversion

Marcio Ferreira

Level 1


Hello, My customer have Ap's AIR-AP1042N-T-K9 models, and need to convert LWAP to use them on a controller, but needs an official Cisco documentation to perform. 

I found many posts with the statement that this is possible, but no official document from Cisco. 

Someone already made this conversion successfully and found that documentation?
 

 

Thanks

How to convert:

Go and download the CAPWAP IOS (called Recovery Image) from the Cisco website.  

 

Unpack the IOS into the AP using the command "archive download-sw tftp://[TFTP IP address]/filename.tar". 

 

Boot the AP.  

 

Make sure you have enabled DHCP Option 43 and/or 60 so it'll be easy to get your AP to find the WLC.

Thank you Leo, but you would have a link or Cisco documentation for this specific model (AIR-AP1042N-X-K9 )? 

is a requirement of the customer :/

What documentation are you looking for?  Data Sheet?

A document stating that this model of autonomous AP can be converted to lightweight
