Recovering Software on the Access Point

To recover the image on the access point, use the service-modulewlan-ap0 reset bootloader command in global configuration mode. This command returns the access point to the bootloader for manual image recovery.

Caution Use this command with caution. It does not provide an orderly shutdown and consequently may impact file operations that are in progress. Use this command only to recover from a shutdown or a failed state.
