During an upgrade, the IP station switch will not be VLAN aware. Make sure the
IP station can reach the TFTP server from the native VLAN.
"
During an upgrade of the IP station, 802.1X will not be running. Thus if 802.1X
reauthentication is enabled and is performed during the upgrade, the IP station
may lose contact with the TFTP server (depending on the configuration when
802.1X authentication fails). If the IP station loses contact with the TFTP server,
it will not be upgraded.
