1130AG LAP to Autonomous mode

[MARVIN SPITERI]

Hi

I have a brand new AIR-LAP1131AG and i need to convert it to autonomous mode. I follwed the exact procedure using tftp and reboot with the mode button pressed, I keep getting that

ERROR: Failed to extract from archive file tftp://255.255.255.255/c1130-k9w7-tar.default - I have renamed the .tar file to as instructed to c1130-k9w7-tar.default and tried different versions of IOS to no avail

Hi Marvin,

Sounds like a TFTP issue. Can you double check Step 3a & 3b;

Step 3 On the PC where the TFTP server is located, perform these steps:

a. Disable any software firewall products, such as Windows firewall, ZoneAlarm firewall, McAffee firewall, or others.

b. Ensure all Windows files are visible. From Windows Explorer, click Tools > Folder Options > View > Show hidden files and folders.

Hope this helps!

hi

yes that is what i thought at first but all fine - i did couple of tftp trabsfers before all basic requirements are ok. I suspect that the problem is with the file renaming somehow.

I downloaded the latest IOS zip file c1130-k9w7-tar.124-10b.JDA extracted all in a new folder and renamed the file c1130-k9w7-mx.124-10b.JDA to c1130-k9w7-tar.default and pointed tftp folder to its root folder which was created during unzip c1130-k9w7-mx.124-10b.JDA

i am getting the following error from console :-

ERROR: Failed to extract from archive file tftp://255.255.255.255/c1130-k9w7-tar.default

from tftp server log:-

09/12/2008 16:53 :Sending c1130-k9w7-tar.default to (10.0.0.1)

09/12/2008 16:53 :Timeout error sending c1130-k9w7-tar.default from (10.0.0.1), 0 bytes

Try using 3cdeamon TFTP.... seen this error when using other tftp servers.

hi issue solved the tar file was keeping the .tar extension and this was not visible....
