• First, set the environment variables to describe the IP settings for the WAP. In this example I'm using 10.1.94.99/24 with a gateway of 10.1.94.1.

set IP_ADDR 10.1.94.99

set NETMASK 255.255.255.0

set DEFAULT_ROUTER 10.1.94.1

• Then prepare the bootloader to use the TFTP and flash file systems as well as the ethernet interface:

tftp_init

ether_init

flash_init

• Next, extract the image from the TFTP server to the flash file system. In this scenarioe, I'm using the tar file c1200-k9w7-tar.123-8.JEE.tar on the TFTP server at 10.1.94.17.

tar -xtract tftp://10.1.94.17/c1200-k9w7-tar.123-8.JEE.tar flash:


• Use the "dir flash:" command to show the contents of the flash file system. You should see the image that was just downloaded from the TFTP server. In this case, the image name is c1200-k9w7-mx.123-8.JEE.

dir flash:

• Note that the "c1200-k9w7-mx.123-8.JEE" in the root directory is a sub-directory. If you look inside that directory ("dir flash:c1200-k9w7-mx.123-8.JEE/&quot), you'll find the image file. Set the BOOT variable to point to this image.

ap: dir flash:c1200-k9w7-mx.123-8.JEE/

set BOOT flash:c1200-k9w7-mx.123-8.JEE/c1200-k9w7-mx.123-8.JEE

• Verify your work using the "set" command.

ap: set

BOOT=flash:c1200-k9w7-mx.123-8.JEE/c1200-k9w7-mx.123-8.JEE
DEFAULT_ROUTER=10.1.94.1
ENABLE_BREAK=no
IOS_NAME_SERVER_ADDR=192.168.1.25
IP_ADDR=10.1.94.99
MANUAL_BOOT=no
NETMASK=255.255.255.0

• Finally, use the "boot" command to boot the AP. It should now work as expected, and if there was a previous config (the file "config.txt" in the directory listing above, it should load it and run like normal.
