Chapter 4 Updating Device Firmware

Managing Firmware Jobs

Using a Remote TFTP Server for Image Upload

You can download firmware images to a TFTP server and then upload them to access points and bridges. This method of uploading may be quicker than uploading from the WLSE if you have a slow link between the WLSE and the access points and bridges in your network.

To download firmware images, go to the following URL:

http://www.cisco.com/public/sw-center/sw-wireless.shtml

To make sure you are downloading a supported firmware release, see the Supported Devices Table for the CiscoWorks 1105 Wireless LAN Solution Engine on Cisco.com.

Use the normal procedure for creating firmware jobs described in Managing Firmware Jobs, page 4-9. You specify the TFTP server and provide the filename in the last step; see Finishing the Job, page 4-14.

Note Even though you may be uploading images from a remote TFTP server, you still need to import those images to the WLSE. For information on importing images to the WLSE, see Importing Images, page 4-4.
