Chapter 7 Troubleshooting

Reloading the Access Point/Bridge Image

Step 4 Enter Y when the following CLI message displays: Proceed with reload? [confirm].

Caution Interrupting the boot process will damage the configuration file. Wait until the access point/bridge Install Mode LED begins to blink green before continuing with CLI configuration changes. You can also see the following CLI message when the load process has finished: Line protocol on Interface Dot11Radio0, changed state to up.

Step 5 After the access point/bridge reboots, you can reconfigure the access point/bridge by using the Web-browser interface or the CLI (refer to the Cisco IOS Software Configuration Guide for Cisco Aironet Bridges or to the Cisco IOS Software Configuration Guide for Cisco Aironet Access Points).

The access point/bridge is configured with the factory default values including the IP address (set to receive an IP address using DHCP). To obtain the unit’s new IP address, you can use the show interface bvi1 CLI command.

Reloading the Access Point/Bridge Image

If your access point/bridge has a firmware failure, you must reload the complete image file using the Web-browser interface or by using the console serial port. You can use the browser interface if the access point/bridge firmware is operational. However, you can use the console serial port when the access point/bridge has a corrupt image.

Web-Browser Interface

You can also use the Web-browser interface to reload the access point/bridge image file. The

Web-browser interface supports loading the image file using HTTP or TFTP interfaces.

Note Your access point/bridge configuration is not changed when you use the browser to reload the image file.
