Description

Group Size

When you upgrade multiple APs, each AP contacts the TFTP server to

 

 

download the upgrade file. To prevent the TFTP server from being

 

 

overloaded, you can limit the number of APs to be upgraded at a time.

 

 

In the Group Size field, enter the number of APs that can be upgraded at the

 

 

same time. When one group completes the upgrade, the next group begins

 

 

the process.

 

 

Managed AP

The drop-down menu lists the APs that the switch manages. Each AP is

 

 

identified by its MAC address. To upgrade a single AP, select the AP MAC

 

 

address from the drop down list. To upgrade all APs, select “All” from the

 

 

top of the list. If “All” is selected, the Group Size field will limit the number

 

 

of simultaneous AP upgrades in order not to overwhelm the TFTP server.

 

 

NOTE: We recommend that you upgrade all managed APs at the same time.

 

 

 

After you provide the information about the upgrade file, click Start to begin the upgrade process. Additional fields appear to provide information about upgrade status and success.
