From: Andy on
Hi guys,
I have an Aironet 1200 that keeps reloading, I have tried the escape
button to go to the rommon, and tried as well to recover the image
through the Mode button, both are not working. I can not access both
the CLI and the web page due to the frequent reload.
I might have done something wrong with the image name for downloading
it, where the Aironet configuration Guide mentions that the image
should have the following format :

c1200-k9w7-tar.122-15.JA.tar

while what I get after upload is:

c1200-k9w7-mx.122-13.JA4.tar

So I changed the mx into tar desperately, and still it could not find
the image after the Mode button recovery.

1. Below you will find how it keeps reloading,

And the TCP/IP setting for the TFTP are correct for sure.

From: Aaron Leonard on
To recover this AP1200, I would do this:

1. Get an AP1200 image from CCO; use one of the following IOS versions:
12.3(7)JA4
12.3(8)JA2
12.3(8)JEA

2. Find a computer that you can play with, and put a known good TFTP server
on it. I like the current Solarwinds server; if you have your own
favorite, so much the better.

3. Put the new AP1200 image into the TFTP server's root direction; rename
it to "c1200-k9w7-tar.default".

3. Address this computer's LAN adapter with 10.0.0.2.

4. Put this computer and the AP1200 on the same LAN.

5. Perform the mode button recovery procedure.

If you still don't get things working as desired, go here for further
instructions:

Hi, i did try it, and i did it twice, where the image got downloaded on
the AP and extracted, but i still have the same problem, the AP keeps
reloading. I do not want to rule it as a hardware failure yet.

Andy,
After you recover the AP using the mode button you MUST tftp a new image to
the box. The mode image load is to only recover the box and allow you to put
the real image on it.
