1242 Lightweigth Image length

Alejandro.Angon — Sun, 04 Jul 2021 07:03:18 GMT

Does anybody know the length of the image file that the WLC sends to the Lightweigth AP 1242, I´m using a WLC 2504 running code 7.3.112.0. I would like to know this for considering the amount of remote APs that I could upgrade simultaneously through a 2 Mbps link

Thanks.

I believe the image is about 16M..but take a look at the efficient upgrade feature

Couldn't you put the image on a router or a tftp server out at the remote site?

Thanks,

Scott

Ok, you've got a few choices ....

1. You can, as what Scott's recommended, download the full (not the RCV) CAPWAP file into a TFTP server at the site and copy the IOS across. You can do this anytime you want.

2. You can schedule the reload of the 2504. This will also upgrade the IOS of the AP. You can schedule, say, 4 am on a Sunday.

Hello Alejandro,

As per your query i can suggest you the following solution-

Guidelines for Upgrading Controller Software

Follow these guidelines before upgrading your controller to software release 6.0:

•Make sure that you have a TFTP or FTP server available for the software upgrade. Follow these guidelines when setting up a TFTP or FTP server:

–Controller software release 6.0 is greater than 32 MB; you must make sure that your TFTP server supports files that are larger than 32 MB. Some TFTP servers that support files of this size are tftpd32 and the TFTP server is within WCS.

If you attempt to download the 6.0 controller software and your TFTP server does not support files of this size, the following error message appears: "TFTP failure while storing in flash."

For more information you can refer to the link-

Hope this will help
