Resetting access point configurations, upgrading access point firmware, and configuring IP settings like IP address, subnet mask, and gateway. 2. Enabling the configuration terminal and verifying the IP configuration on the access point. 3. Configuring the web and secure web modes on the wireless controller to control access to the controller GUI. 4. Connecting an access point to a wireless controller at a remote location and converting an access point from autonomous to controller-managed mode. 5. Configuring basic settings on the wireless controller like usernames, passwords, and SSIDs. 6.

The main difference is autonomous do not require a controller to control the AP and
it use WLSE for management software;
the LWAPP(Lightweight AP) require a WLC wireless controller to control all of the
AP but provide ease of management
for the communication / setting between APs, it use another management software
call WCS.

% AP IN ROMMON MODE %

ap: set IP_ADDR


ap: set NETMASK 255.255.255.0
ap: set DEFAULT_ROUTER

ap: tftp_init
ap: ether_init
ap: flash_init

* setenv ipaddr <IP of the AP> --> 1832


* setenv netmask <mask>
* setenv gatewayip <gateway IP>
* setenv serverip <TFTP ip address>
* tftpboot /<image filename>

After entering the above command, we see the image getting transferred to the AP
(we used the capwap image).

Check the current partition: printenv BOOT


Set to the other partition:
If BOOT value from above is part1: setenv BOOT part2
The newly transferred image should be on partition 2.
Save U-Boot config/env: saveenv
Boot the board: boot

AP came out of ROMMON mode and into capwap mode and it joined a WLC, when the WLC-
triggered reset occurred, AP would reboot from part1 and would again go into uboot.
We downloaded into the AP the capwap image to match the WLC code and didn't do the
"setenv BOOT part2" command. After that, AP successfully joined the WLC and stayed
stable.
