Autonomous Access Points Converted to Lightweight Mode

Autonomous Access Points Converted to Lightweight Mode
You can use an upgrade conversion tool to convert autonomous Cisco Aironet 1100, 1130AG, 1200,
1240AG, and 1300 Series Access Points to lightweight mode. When you upgrade one of these access
points to lightweight mode, the access point communicates with a controller and receives a configuration
and software image from the controller.
Note The conversion tool adds the self-signed certificate (SSC) key-hash to only one of the controllers on the
Cisco WiSM. After the conversion has been completed, add the SSC key-hash to the second controller
on the Cisco WiSM by copying the SSC key-hash from the first controller to the second controller. To
copy the SSC key-hash, open the AP Policies page of the controller GUI (Security > AAA > AP Policies)
and copy the SSC key-hash from the SHA1 Key Hash column under AP Authorization List (see
Figure 7-8). Then, using the second controller's GUI, open the same page and paste the key-hash into
the SHA1 Key Hash field under Add AP to Authorization List. If you have more than one Cisco WiSM,
use WCS to push the SSC key-hash to all the other controllers.
