Hi guys
I'm trying to convert the above Aironet unit back to autonomous mode using the appropriate IOS image which I have downloaded and placed on my TFTP server.
The problem I am having is that for the life of me I cannot get the Aironet unit to change its IP from the default 10.0.0.1.
I've booted the unit and held down the mode button for >10secs until the LED goes red, it then allows me to configure it using:
set IP_ADDR / NETMASK / GATEWAY etc
tftp_init
But I cannot ping the unit, it doesnt matter if I plug it directly into my laptop using a straight through cable, a cisco switch, anything - I cannot ping it. Even if I just let it boot using the default 10.0.0.1 address I cannot ping it unless I allow the unit to fully boot into the LAP IOS image.
If I let the unit boot fully by itself and then change the IP I can ping it no problem
but of course I cannot upload the IOS image in this mode.
Anybody got any ideas?
I think it must be something I am doing wrong as I also have a 1141 LAP Cisco model that has the same issue.
These units are in my lab so its no big deal if it doesnt work without a WLAN controller but I really would like to use them if I can.
EDIT: Just to add that I successfully did this (converted back to autonomous) using a 1240AG LAP Aironet unit that I have loaned to a friend (he wanted big wireless coverage), so it must be possible with these units.
Cheers
