Working with Software Images
The
archive upload-sw
privileged EXEC command builds an image file on the server by uploading these
files in order: info, the IOS image, the HTML files, and info.ver. After these files are uploaded, the
upload algorithm creates the tar file format.
Reloading the Image Using the Web Browser Interface
You can also use the Web browser interface to reload the access point image file. The Web broswer
interface supports loading the image file using HTTP or TFTP interfaces.
Note
Your access point configuration is not changed when using the browser to reload the image file.
Browser HTTP Interface
The HTTP interface allows you to browse to the access point image file on your PC and download the
image to the access point. Follow the instructions below to use the HTTP interface:
Step 1
Open your Internet browser. You must use Microsoft Internet Explorer (version 5.x or later) or Netscape
Navigator (version 4.x).
Step 2
Enter the access point’s IP address in the browser address line and press
Enter
. An Enter Network
Password screen appears.
Step 3
Enter your username in the User Name field.
Step 4
Enter the access point password in the Password field and press
Enter
. The Summary Status page
appears.
Step 5
Click the

. The HTTP Upgrade screen appears.
Step 6
Click the
