Hi
I have to install a new version on a AP and i just downloaded a .tar file from Cisco.
My question is, can i boot directly from that tar file?
I never tryied this and before doing something wrong i want to be sure it will work. I read somewhere that maybe i have to uncompress the file firt but the AP seems it doesn't have this option.
Any help will be great, thanks

If you want to load the software and reboot the access point immediately I have found this command to be useful:
archive download-sw /overwrite /force-reload tftp://x.x.x.x/Image Name
Where x.x.x.x is the address of the TFTP server where the image is stored and Image Name is the name of the tar file.
If you don't want the access point to reload immediated you can omit the /force-reload part.
Hope this helps.

It didn't rebooted wellow it has a ap: prompt and can't start from the file. The thing is that the version is still there on the boot variable.
Strange...
