Returning the Access Point to Autonomous Mode
You can return a lightweight access point to autonomous mode by loading a Cisco IOS release that
supports autonomous mode (such as Cisco IOS Release 12.3(8)JA or earlier). If the access point is
associated to a controller, you can use the controller to load the Cisco IOS release. If the access point is
not associated to a controller, you can load the Cisco IOS release using TFTP.
Using a Controller to Return the Access Point to Autonomous Mode
Follow these steps to return a lightweight access point to autonomous mode using a controller:
Step 1
Log into the CLI on the controller to which the access point is associated and enter this command:
config ap tftp-downgrade
tftp-server-ip-address filename access-point-name
(where:
a)
tftp-server-ip-address
is the IP address of the TFTP server
b)
filename
is the full path and filename of the access point image file, such as
D:/Images/
c1200-k9w7-tar.123-8.JA.ta
r
c)
access-point-name
is the name that identifies the access point on the
gondolier.)
Step 2
Wait until the access point completes the reboot, as indicated by the Status LED turning green to indicate
a client is associated or blinking green to indicate a client is not associated.
Step 3
After the access point reboots, reconfigure it using the access point GUI or the CLI.
