In the CLI
To configure the AP image preload feature using the command-line interface, enter the following commands in
enable mode.
ap image-preload
The command ap image preload clear-all deletes all AP groups and AP names from the list of APs eligible for
preloading. This command may be executed either before or after preloading is activated. If it is executed after
preloading has already been activated, any APs waiting to preload the new software version will be removed
from the list. APs that have already begun the preloading process will continue to download their image and
will not be affected.
The ap image-preload cancel command deletes all AP groups and AP names from the list of APs eligible for
preloading and cancels the preloading process for any APs on the list that have already begun to download the
new image. This command then disables the image preload feature.
View AP Preload Status
You can monitor the current preload status of APs using the image preload feature using the show ap image-
preload-status and show ap image-preload-status-summary commands in the command-line interface,
or in the Maintenance > WLAN > Preload AP Image window in the WebUI.
The output of the show ap image-preload-status CLI command and the AP Image Preload Status and AP
