This HowTo works with an AIR-TC-2504-K9 and probably with all other models from this series.
- You have to have the IOS image (e.g.
AIR-CT2500-K9-7-6-110-0.aes) ready on a TFTP server in your local network. - Connect to the controller's serial console port.
- Connect the controller's network port #1 to a switch in your local network.
- If the controller is new/unconfigured, you have to finish the basic setup wizard first (mainly to get network connectivity) via the serial console:
- Hostname:
airtemp - Administratirve user name:
admin - Password:
Cisco123 - Enable LAG:
NO - Management interface IP address:
192.168.1.241 - Management interface netmask:
255.255.255.0 - Management interface default router:
192.168.1.254 - Management interface VLAN ID: just hit ENTER without putting anything
- Management interface port number:
1 - Management interface DHCP server:
192.168.0.10 - Virtual gateway IP address:
192.168.50.241 - Multicast IP address:
239.0.0.1 - Mobility/RF group name:
grouptemp - Network name SSID:

NO - Allow static IP addresses:
YES - Configure RADIUS server:
NO - Country code list:
US - Enable network 802.11b:
NO - Enable network 802.11a:
NO - Enable Auto-RF:
NO - Configure NTP server:
NO - Configure system time:
NO - Configuration correct? →
YES→ Controller reboots now.
- Hostname:
- After reboot, login to the controller on the serial console using username
adminand passwordCisco123. - Try to ping your TFTP server's IP address:
ping 192.168.1.11. If it doesn't work, fix your network config. - Type
show sysinfoto verify the firmware version the controller is running. - Type the following commands to initiate the upgrade procedure via TFTP:
transfer download datatype codetransfer download mode tftptransfer download serverip 192.168.1.11transfer download path .transfer download filename AIR-CT2500-K9-7-6-110-0.aestransfer download start- Wait for the download and system upgrade procedure to finish. This can take some time (at least 10 mins)
- When the upgrade procedure has finished (you should see the message
Reboot the controller for update to complete.), typereset systemto reboot the controller. When asked if you want to save the changed config, answerYES. The controller will reboot now and load the newly installed image. - Optional, continue with one of the following:
- When the controller is back up again, type
Recover-Configat the username prompt to reset the switch to factory defaults. - Apply a configuration file
- When the controller is back up again, type
