Hostnames changes has to be done from the GUI or CLI of the WLC. This can only be done if the AP has joined the WLC. Once an ap has joined any WLC, you can't change the hostnames unless you erase the flash for factory reset the ap.

Check the flash of the AP to see if there is enough memory.

Dear Scott Fella,

I hope there is enough memory, if no space what to do!

Thanks

Usually older AP's tend to have junk:) crash files etc.... You can get rd of all that and free up some space. Compare it to a good know AP.

Dear Scott Fella,

If i format memory what will happen, could you explian me.

Thanks

Anwar Hossain

I didn't say format!!! Delete files that are not needed. You can reference one if you other AP's. Log files like error or crash can be removed.

Dear Scott Fella,

I go one solution

(controller)> config ap username getronics password agcn321 AP0024.c4a2.56ac

!

But could you tell me how can i access wism/controller from cisco 6509 switch.

Thanks

Anwar Hossain

You need to session into the WiSM from the 6509 or connect to the console port:

You can access the WiSM through a session command directly now.

SFO#session switch 1 slot 11 proc 1
The default escape character is Ctrl-^, then x.
You can also type 'exit' at the remote prompt to end the session
Trying 172.23.226.99 ... Open
