Distributing Firmware
You use the Distribute Firmware page to distribute the access point’s firmware to
other Cisco Aironet access points. Figure 6-7 shows the Distribute Firmware
page.
The access point sends its firmware to all the access points on your network that:
• Are running access point firmware version 10.00 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)
