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

TFTP Upgrade

To upgrade the firmware on an access point using TFTP:
Select Administration > Manage Firmware in the navigation pane.
The Product ID (PID VID) and active and inactive firmware versions appear.
Select TFTP for Transfer Method.
Enter a name (1 to 128 characters) for the image file in the Source File Name field,
including the path to the directory that contains the image to upload.
For example, to upload the ap_upgrade.tar image located in the /share/builds/ap
directory, enter: /share/builds/ap/ap_upgrade.tar
The firmware upgrade file supplied must be a tar file. Do not attempt to use bin
files or files of other formats for the upgrade; these types of files do not work.
The filename cannot contain the following items: spaces, <, >, |, \, : , (, ), &, ; , #, ? , *,
and two or more successive periods.
Enter the TFTP Server IPv4 Address and click Upgrade.
Uploading the new software may take several minutes. Do not refresh the page or
navigate to another page while uploading the new software, or the software
upload is aborted. When the process is complete the access point restarts and
resumes normal operation.
To verify that the firmware upgrade completed successfully, log into the user
interface and display the Upgrade Firmware page and view the active firmware
version.
