Manage Firmware

The WAP device maintains two firmware images. One image is active and the other is 
inactive. If the active image fails to load during bootup, the inactive image is loaded and 
becomes the active image. You can also swap the active and inactive images.

As new versions of the AP firmware become available, you can upgrade the firmware on your 
devices to take advantage of new features and enhancements. The AP uses a TFTP or HTTP 
client for firmware upgrades. 

After you upload new firmware and the system reboots, the newly added firmware becomes 
the primary image. If the upgrade fails, the original firmware remains as the primary image. 

NOTE

When you upgrade the firmware, the access point retains the existing configuration 
information.

To swap the firmware image running on the AP:

STEP 1

Select Administration > Manage Firmware in the navigation pane.

STEP  2

Click Swap Active Image. 

A dialog box appears confirming the firmware image switch and subsequent reboot. 

STEP  3

Click OK to proceed.

The process may take several minutes, during which time the access point is unavailable. Do 
not power down the access point while the image switch is in process. When the image switch 
is complete, the access point restarts. The AP resumes normal operation with the same 
configuration settings it had before the upgrade.
