NOTE
The update process is conducted over the LAN or WAN port depending on which Server responds first to
the access point’s request for an automatic update.
NOTE
If the firmware files are the same, the firmware will not get updated. If the configuration file name matches
the last used configuration file on the access point or if the configuration file versions are the same, the access
point configuration will not get updated. The LAN Port needs to be configured as a BootP client. There's no BootP
support on the WAN Port. The WAN supports only DHCP.
BootP Priorities
The following flowchart displays the priorities used by the access point when the BootP server is
configured for multiple options:
If the BootP Server is configured for options 186 and 66 (to assign TFTP server IP addresses) the
access point uses the IP address configured for option 186. Similarly, if the BootP Server is configured
for options 188 and 129 (for the configuration file) the AP uses the file name configured for option 188.
