Distribute Firmware Page
Overview
This page allows you to distribute the Aironet firmware on an Access Point to other Aironet devices. The
distributing AP sends the firmware to all the Access Points on your network that:
•
are running firmware that supports the Distribute Firmware feature;
•
can hear the IP multicast “query” issued by the distributing AP (network devices such as routers can
block multicast messages);
•
have their web servers enabled for external browsing (see
Web Server Setup
);
•
and, if they have User Manager enabled, contain in their User Lists a user with the same user name,
password, and capabilities as the user performing the distribution (the person logged in on the
distributing AP).
