Upgrade Configuration

Context

You can upgrade a large number of APs on your network in batches on the Upgrade Configuration page.

Before starting a batch AP upgrade, upgrade an AP to check whether the target version is normal, ensuring success of the subsequent batch upgrade.

NOTE:

The batch AP upgrade and single AP upgrade functions on the web system apply only to online APs.

Set parameters on the Upgrade Configuration page. The AP upgrade mode can be AC, FTP, or SFTP. Table 1 describes the parameters you need to set in the three upgrade modes.

Click Apply. In the Info dialog box that is displayed, click OK.

NOTE:

The parameter settings in Upgrade Mode take effect for both batch AP upgrade and single AP upgrade.
