Prior to the Upgrade
Perform the following steps.
1.
Ping the WLC from the router to confirm IP connectivity.
2.
Enter the
service-module wlan-ap 0 session
command to establish a session with the access point.
3.
Confirm that the access point is running an autonomous boot image.
4.
Enter the
show boot
command on the access point to confirm the mode setting is enabled. The
following is sample output for the command:
Autonomous-AP# show boot
BOOT path-list: flash:ap801-k9w7-mx.124-10b.JA3/ap801-k9w7-mx.124-10b.JA3
Config file: flash:/config.txt
Private Config file: flash:/private-config
Enable Break: yes
Manual Boot: yes
HELPER path-list:
NVRAM/Config file
buffer size: 32768
Mode Button: on
Performing the Upgrade
To upgrade to Unified software, follow these steps:
Step 1
Issue the
service-module wlan-ap 0 bootimage unified
command to change the access point boot image
to the Unified upgrade image, which is also known as a
recovery image
.
Router# conf terminal
Router(config)# service-module wlan-ap 0 bootimage unified
Router(config)# end
Note
If the
service-module wlan-ap 0 bootimage unified
command does not work successfully,
check to see whether the software license is still eligible.
On the access point console, use the
show boot
command to identify the access point’s boot
image path:
autonomous-AP# show boot
BOOT path-list: flash:/ap801-rcvk9w8-mx/ap801-rcvk9w8-mx
Step 2
Issue the
service-module wlan-ap 0 reload
command to perform a graceful shutdown and reboot the
access point and complete the upgrade process. Session into the access point and monitor the upgrade
process.
