Aironet 1230B unable to Upgrade ISO

[#1]

HI

I just bought a AP 1230 B ( out the box) never beeing used ) and i want to upgrade it to the latest ISO release , i downloaded the c1200 kw---------------- tar file from cisco , when i try to do Http update i iether get a error message (invalid file format ) or the Upgrede window timer conts forever instead of 5 to 10 minutes that it shoul take , if i try to do tftp it fails right away . any ideas , i will try to update it using the CLI tonight , what will it be the right command to execute the update ?

thanks

Hi

Your problem is two fold the current images exceed the 4Mb limit for HTTP transfers, you need to use TFTP to transfer the new image also the old AP images don't support transfers greater than 4mb.

the process is two step first upgrade to 12.2(13) with TFTP this version while less than 4mb supports downloads over 4Mb then youu can load a 4Mb+ image using tftp.

Good luck

examining image...

%Error opening ftp://192.168.1.5/c1200-k9w7-tar.123-8.JA2.tar (No such user)

You need to use the GUI it is much simpler.

you also need to use a TFTP server here is the link to the one Cisco usually reccomends.
