I have a number of 1200 series Access-points deployed across numerous
sites which are configured to use MAC authentication off a RADIUS
server. The encryption is set to WPA/PSK. and TKIP running on IOS
12.2(15)JA.

The IOS on one these access points mistakenly was upgraded to a newer
version that no longer supports this configuration and as luck would
nave it, we no longer seem to have a copy of the original image file.
Is there a way to get a new copy of the image file for
c1200-k9w7-tar.122-15.JA.bin when it is no longer offered for download
from Cisco's web site? failing that, is there a procedure to pull it
off one of my AP's still running this IOS? I have been able to copy the
file using tftp from one of the good AP's, (copy
flash:/c1200-k9w7-tar.122-15.JA tftp) but have been unable to tftp the
resulting file back. I get an error telling me the format of the file
is incompatible. It seems to me that one should be able to back up an
IOS image from a device and successfully restore that back up.

Suggestions

Thanks

You might want to have a look at the "archive upload" and "archive
donwload" commands
