Auto Convert APs in FlexConnect Mode
Step 8
Reboot the controllers after all the AP images are downloaded. The APs now fall back to Standalone
mode until the controllers are rebooting.
Note
In Standalone mode, Fault Tolerance will keep Clients associated.
Once the controller is back, the APs automatically reboot with the pre-downloaded image. After
rebooting, the APs re-join the primary controller and resume the client's services.
Limitations
•
Master AP selection is per FlexConnect group and per AP model in each group.
•
Only 3 slave APs of same model can upgrade simultaneously from their master AP and rest of the
slave APs will use the random back-off timer to retry for the Master AP in order to download the
AP image.
•
In the instance that the Slave AP fails to download the image from the Master AP for some reason,
it will go to the WLC in order to fetch the new image.
•
This works only with CAPWAP APs.
•
Smart AP image upgrade does not work when the Master AP is connected over CAPWAPv6.
