I have an autonomous Cisco IOS Software-based access point. Can I convert it to lightweight mode?
A. Yes, but not all the autonomous Cisco IOS Software-based AP models can be converted. These are the models that you can convert to Lightweight AP Protocol (LWAPP) mode: • All Cisco Aironet 1130 AG APs • All Aironet 1240 AG APs • For all Cisco IOS Software-based Aironet 1200 Series modular AP (1200/1220 Cisco IOS Software upgrade, 1210, and 1230 AP) platforms, the ability to convert the AP depends on the radio. • If the radio is IEEE 802.11g, MP21G and MP31G are supported. • If the radio is IEEE 802.11a, RM21A and RM22A are supported. You can upgrade the 1200 Series APs with any combination of supported radios: • G only • A only • Both G and A Note: An autonomous AP must run Cisco IOS Software Release 12.3(7)JA or later before you can convert it to LWAPP. Note: Only the Cisco 4400 and 2006 wireless LAN controllers (WLCs) support autonomous APs that have been converted to lightweight mode. Cisco WLCs must run a minimum software version of 3.1.
