Cisco 1141N Access Point - No Configure Terminal?

[hman88]

Hi,

We just received our Cisco 1141N AP. I plugged it in for the first time and couldn't connect to the web interface (The IP address is correct). So I decided to connect via console to double check the IP's and to enable the HTTP server. IP was correct, tried to enter the Configuration Terminal to enable the HTTP server and for some reason, the configure terminal command doesn't exist:

AP5475.d0f5.1d8d con0 is now available

Press RETURN to get started.

Am I doing something wrong? Or is there an issue with my AP?

can we see the output of a show run

also which version of the 1141N is it? the standalone ap or the lightweight version that needs a controller?

this thread might be of some assistance https://learningnetwork.cisco.com/thread/9562

The model of the device is: AIR-LAP1141N-A-K9

Here is the Show Run:

I have never configured an AP before, I have only worked with Cisco Switches and Routers. Could you please explain the differences between a standalone and controller based AP?

Thanks,

The unified, aka lightweight (controller based) access points use a controller for configuration etc while the standalone is by definition, standalone.

What you have there is the lightweight ap denoted by the L in the model name AIR-LAP1141N-A-K9

If this is a new access point, then you may wish to send it back and request a standalone model otherwise you will need a controller

take a look at tables 3 and 4 http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/wireless/ps5678/ps10092/datasheet_c78-502797.html

also here is a cisco link that will help clarify what a wireless lan controller does.

Hope that helps

Ok, makes sense now. I will try and get it swapped out for a standalone model... If not, I guess I can follow the thread you posted (https://learningnetwork.cisco.com/thread/9562) and convert the IOS to standalone.

Thank you so much for your help! Much appreciated!
