Примечания к выпуску для Cisco Cisco 2106 Wireless LAN Controller

Before you can install a 1130AG or 1240AG indoor access point into an indoor mesh deployment you 
must do the following.

Convert the autonomous access point (k9w7 image)

 

to a lightweight access point.

A detailed explanation of this process is located at:

Convert the lightweight access point to either a mesh access point (MAP) or root access point 
(RAP).

Indoor mesh access points (1130 and 1240) can function as either a root access point (RAP) or a 
mesh access point (MAP). By default, all are configured as MAPs. 

At least one access point within a mesh network must be configured to function as a RAP.

The access point reboots after entry of the conversion commands (CLI, GUI, and WCS noted 
below), and initially reloads its existing non-mesh image (k9w8) and then rejoins the controller. 
After successfully rejoining, the access point receives a download of the mesh image (k9w9) 
from the controller. The mesh image then reloads and replaces the non-mesh image on the access 
point. Afterwards, the access point rejoins the controller as a mesh access point operating in the 
bridging mode as either a MAP or RAP as configured.

The indoor mesh access point image (k9w9) is a different image than the autonomous (k9w7) 
and lightweight access point images (k9w8).

To convert the access point to a mesh access point using the CLI, enter the commands noted in either 
Step a or b below.

To convert from a lightweight access point to a MAP, enter the following CLI commands:

config ap mode bridge AP_name 

The mesh access point image (k9w9) is downloaded.

To convert from a lightweight access point to a RAP, enter the following CLI commands:

config ap mode bridge AP_name 

config ap role rootAP AP_name

The mesh access point image (k9w9) is downloaded and the mesh access point is configured to 
operate as a RAP.

To convert the access point to a mesh access point using the GUI, do the following.

Choose Wireless and click on the AP Name link for the 1130 or 1240 indoor access point you 
want to convert.

At the General Properties panel, select Bridge from the AP Mode drop-down menu.

The access point loads the new image (k9w9) and reboots.

At the Mesh panel, select either RootAP or MeshAP from the AP Role drop- down menu.
