Lab 2: Upgrading AP 1131 to LWAPP Mode

Step 1:
Install the upgrade tool on your system provide by your instructor. Or check if tool is already installed on
your laptop.

Step 2:
Open the upgrade toll by clicking on its link:



Step 3:

The IP File field is the input file of access points to upgrade. Whether you have one or several access
points to upgrade, create a flat text file in the following format:

ap-ip-address,telnet-username,telnet-user-password,enable-password
ap-ip-address,telnet-username,telnet-user-password,enable-password

Each line in the text file lists the unit IP address, Telnet username and password, and a password that
permits access to the access point CLI privileged EXEC mode. Use a comma to separate each item on a
line. Save the text file on the same machine that hosts the upgrade tool. Click the . . . button to browse
to and select the text file.

Step 4:

Make the AP ready to communicate to the Upgrade tool:


5

ap(config)#username network password cisco
ap(config)#int fastEthernet 0
ap(config-if)#ip address 172.16.1.10 255.255.255.0
ap(config-if)#no shut
ap(config)#int BVI1
ap(config-if)#ip address 172.16.1.15 255.255.255.0
ap(config-if)#no shut
ap(config)#line vty 0 4
ap(config-line)#pass
ap(config-line)#password cisco
ap(config-line)#login
ap(config-line)#end
ap#wr

Assign IP to your laptop as below:

Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:
IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 172.16.1.20
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . :

Test connectivity between Laptop where Upgrade tool is installed and AP:

Access the Wireless LAN Controller using its Service Port which has 192.168.1.1 IP by default, assign your
laptop NIC 192.168.1.10 for the time being to connect to WLC to check its settings:



Uername: Administrator
7

Password: cisco123

And under Controller and Interfaces look like this:



Provide all the info in the Upgrade Tool. You will need image to upgrade AP to LWAPP mode.

8



And Tool will start upgrading the AP:

Detailed Log from the Upgrade tool will show similar to this:



As after restart AP will be in LWAPP mode and its FastEthernet Interface will be setup to look for IP from
DHCP Server, haveDHCP Scope configured on the WLC:



11

Restart the LWAPP and as soon as it restarts it will get IP from the DHCP Scope from the WLC and will
attempt to register with WLC and as soon as it registers, it will check and if its existing code is not
matching with the code on WLC it will upgrade with the code on WLC:
