[Marcogiraldo86]

Hi

to join and enable AIR CAP1702 to AIR AP2802 i need TFTP server on my laptop to upload firmware (c3700) to AIR CAP1702.

Everything seem works.

Is it possible that AIR AP2802 run as TFTP server?

and

Is it possible to upload c3700 firmware on it? Where i can find root directory

Thank you guys

Hi @Marcogiraldo86 

 Cisco AP can only be TFTP client not server.  This may answer the second question.  You need to use external TFTP.

ap-type mobility-express tftp://x.x.x.x/AIR-ap-image

Can not AIR AP2802 be a firmware's repository?

In the logs of AIR AP1702, it tries to download firmware from Wireless Controller.

What are cli commands to see wireless controller directory?

Hi @Marcogiraldo86 

  Cisco WLC can hold AP firmwares but not in the case of Mobility express which the wlc run in an AP.

On the case, the WLC must point to a external TFTP server as is not possible to store the firmware on the AP.

There is no command  to list directory on WLC or AP.  In regular WLC you can list the APs bundles but you have no access to the file. You can use the command "show ap bundle all" but this is not valid for WLC running in Access Points.
