Chapter 6 Managing Firmware and Configurations
Distributing a Configuration
Follow these steps to distribute firmware to other access points:
Step 1 Follow the link path to reach the Distribute Firmware page.
Step 2 To distribute all three firmware components at once, verify that yes is selected for
Distribute All Firmware. This is the default setup for the Distribute Firmware
page.
To distribute the firmware components individually, select no for Distribute All
Firmware, and click the checkboxes for the components you want to distribute.
Step 3 Click Start. The access point’s firmware is distributed to the access points on
your network. To cancel the distribution, click Abort.
When the distribution is complete, the access points that received the firmware
automatically reboot.
Distributing a Configuration
You use the Distribute Configuration page to distribute the access point’s
configuration to other Cisco Aironet access points. Figure 6-8 shows the
Distribute Configuration page.
The access point sends its entire system configuration except for its IP identity
information and its User List. The configuration is sent and applied to all the
access points on your network that:
• Are running access point firmware version 10.05 or newer
• Can detect the IP multicast query issued by the distributing access point
(network devices such as routers can block multicast messages)
• Have their web servers enabled for external browsing (see the “Entering Web
Server Settings and Setting Up Access Point Help” section on page 3-50)
• Have the same HTTP port setting as the distributing access point (the HTTP
port setting is on the Web Server Setup page)
• If they have User Manager enabled, contain in their User Lists a user with the
same user name, password, and capabilities as the user performing the
distribution (the person logged in on the distributing access point)
