[c-nsp] TFTP server for LWAPP to Autonomous downgrade

[Michael Kaegler]

Did you get the images filename correct (it should be something like 
c1200-k9w7-tar.default)?
Is it the correct image (a 1231 should have a c1200 image I believe)?
Is the image in the tftp root?
Does the tftp server have permission to read the file?
Is it possible the tftp server and AP are not in the same broadcast 
domain (use a crossover cable)?
