ERROR!!! Command is disabled.

[brock0150]

I have a lwapp 1130 here and it's no longer associated with the controller.  I issued the clear lwapp private-config, it went through and cleared the config.  Now when I try to issue the lwapp commands to set the ip and such i get ERROR!!! Command is disabled. I read that this means the static configuration is locked, but it did not say how to "unlock" it.  Any ideas or suggestions on how to get this re-enabled.

Thanks Steve, this helped. It works now, I appreciate your help.

I had the same problem, the solution is easy if the recovery image is still on the AP.

First, check the flash:

lap_1242_1#dir

Directory of flash:/

2 -rwx 279 May 09 2008 11:52:20 +00:00 env_vars

4 -rwx 6168 May 09 2008 11:52:20 +00:00 private-multiple-fs

6 drwx 256 May 09 2008 11:49:05 +00:00 c1240-k9w8-mx.124-3g.JA2

5 drwx 128 Mar 01 2002 00:03:43 +00:00 c1240-rcvk9w8-mx

15998976 bytes total (10716672 bytes free)

Then delete the LWAPP image:

lap_1242_1#delete /r /f flash:/c1240-k9w8-mx.124-3g.JA2

Thirdly reload the AP:

lap_1242_1#reload

You'll end up with a clear AP.

Hi everyone, I was stuck with an AP that were on a Lab and associated to a WLC we don’t have anymore.

None of the procedures were working and we never change the enable password of the ap while it was associated, so I decide to perform the last procedure (erase de .JA2 file). Now the AP its not booting. It gets stock right here:

ap:
IOS Bootloader - Starting system.
Xmodem file system is available.
flashfs[0]: 3 files, 1 directories
flashfs[0]: 0 orphaned files, 0 orphaned directories
flashfs[0]: Total bytes: 31868928
flashfs[0]: Bytes used: 14848
flashfs[0]: Bytes available: 31854080
flashfs[0]: flashfs fsck took 13 seconds.
Reading cookie from flash parameter block...done.
Base Ethernet MAC address: 00:27:0d:e4:03:6c

The system is unable to boot automatically because there
are no bootable files.

C1250 Boot Loader (C1250-BOOT-M) Version 12.4(18a)JA1, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)
Technical Support: http://www.cisco.com/techsupport
Compiled Fri 23-Jan-09 20:46 by prod_rel_team

I check an the recovery image still on the AP:

4  drwx         320  Jan 26 2010 01:58:26 +00:00  c1250-k9w8-mx.124-21a.JA2
    5  drwx         128   Mar 1 2002 00:02:02 +00:00 c1250-rcvk9w8-mxp

It is a LWAPP 1250.

Any help? please.

What's in the subdirectory "c1250-k9w8-mx.124-21a.JA2"?  What available flash do you have left?  What command did you use to delete the file(s)?

[rparrat666]

Well, I went into the complete porches of recovering the autonomous IOS and then upgrade it to LWAPP. The AP its working fine, It’s painful to perform all the process, but looks the only way to enable the “lwapp ap” commands without the previous registered controller.

[Leo Laohoo]

That will depend entirely on the firmware of the WLC.

AP0007.0e2a.725e#clear lwapp private-config
ERROR!!! Command is disabled.

I have the problem that the clear command cannot be issued.........

Any more ideas ?

software is......

System image file is "flash:/c1130-k9w8-mx.124-3g.JA2/c1130-k9w8-mx.124-3g.JA2"

Hi Fraser,

try this..

1. Disconnect the AP from the LAN (e.g. shutdown the switchport)

2. ap#debug lwapp console cli  (use "debug capwap console cli" if running 5.2
or above)

3. ap#write erase

4. ap#reload

5. After reloading, try using the same command.. or check the flash to see if still we are able t osee the private config.

lemme know if this helps you!!

Regards

Surendra

System image file is "flash:/c1130-k9w8-mx.124-3g.JA2/c1130-k9w8-mx.124-3g.JA2"

"Command is disabled" is due to the following reason:

1.  You are running an old LWAP (full) image:

2.  You are running an LWAP (full) image;

Here's how you fix it:

1.  Do a "dir" on your AP and you should see two sub-directories.  One is the subdirectory of the full LWAP image and the other has the "rcv" or lite LWAP image.

2.  Delete the  subdirectory of the full LWAP image (command:  delete /f /r flash:/c1130-k9w8-mx.124-3g.JA2);

3.  Reboot your AP.
