I have a AIR-SAP1552I-A-K9 and want to upgrade it to a lightweight AP. We're running 7.2.111.3 on our WLC which should work according to Cisco documentation. I downloaded c1520-k9w8-tar.152-2.JB.tar from Cisco homepage which was under their "ligthweight" image. Usually there's a rcv int the name but couldn't find an image containing that for the AP. The other image there for autonomous was c1520-k9w7-tar.152-2.JB (only the w7 and w8 is the difference in the name). The command archive download-sw /overwrite /imageonly /tft://2.2.2.2/c1520-k9w8-tar.152-2.JB.tar was run (2.2.2.2 has of course been replaced from the real tftp server). After reboot of AP there's no information, no cdp, no mac address on the port nothing. Anyone who can fill me in on what might have happened here or what the correct procedure should be for upgrading a 1552 AP from autonomous to lightweight should be? I don't have console access to the AP that failed, but there are a few more APs of the same model which needs to be moved from autonomous to lightweight.
Hi, consider there's a small puddle of water called the atlantic between me and the AP console is a bit of a problem . Before reboot of the AP I of course had SSH access to the AP.
Are all 1552 APs considered mesh AP so I have to add the MAC address to the WLC? Or does it somehow depends autunomous configuration?
During autonoumous mode they picked up an IP. For upgrading the "archive" command was used. There's about 50ish other 1142/1262 access-points in the subnet who joing the WLC without any problems.
I did not see an IP address in CDP neighbors nor did I find it asking for one in the DHCP server. Thus I'm affraid it got stuck somewhere while booting up.
also, do you see any join attempts of the wlc under the monitor > statistics > ap join stats?
i personally doubt you ll see anything there
