  • Software Version ("152-2")

  • "K9W7" (Enhanced Security Edition)

  • Requires the Cisco SecureX license (if applicable).

  • "JB" Code Stream

    • It is critical to note that any file containing w7 is a Lightweight AP (LAP) image. This means the access point will not boot to a console menu nor work independently.

    When you load Ap3g1-k9w7-tar.152-2.jb.tar onto an AP: Ap3g1-k9w7-tar.152-2.jb.tar

    If you need an autonomous (standalone) access point, you would look for a file with w8 (e.g., ap3g1-k9w8-tar.xxx). Do not use this k9w7 file for autonomous deployment.

    This specific firmware is targeted at the Cisco Aironet 1200 Series Access Points. Software Version ("152-2")

    You can force APs to download this image by setting DHCP option 43 with the WLC address and option 66 (TFTP server name). When a fresh AP powers on and sees the TFTP server hosting this .tar file, it will automatically download and flash it.
