Changing switch software
About this task
The software download begins when the user initiates the download and follows the download
process accordingly. This process deletes the contents of the flash memory and replaces it
with the desired software image. Do not interrupt the download process. Depending on network
conditions, this process make take up to 10 minutes.
The current WLAN 8180 image build is as follows:
Image name
Image Version

When the download process is complete, the switch automatically resets unless the no-reset
parameter was used. The software image initiates a self-test and returns a message when the
process is complete.
