AP firmwareupgrade with the WLSE

[BERNHARD FIEGLMUELLER]

HI i want to upgrade 60 aps from 12.2.11 to the latest 12.2.12JA1 in the release note i saw that i ahve to shut down the radio interface.

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/wireless/ps4570/prod_release_note09186a00801d725d.html#68570

i have tested it with the wlse without to shut down the interface an it worked once. do i really need to shut the interface down. bc the aps are in a productional enviroment and when i shut it down no body can work, so when i make a normal sw upgrade it reboots only.

does the shut interface get no shut after sw upgrade automaticlly?

12.2.12JA1 is not the latest IOS. 12.2.13JA1 is the latest IOS.

As for shutting the radio down prior to upgrading, I did not do it and I successfully upgraded ~130 1200 AP's. I am not suggesting you deviate from the Cisco documentation rather just letting you know my experience. And you will need to do a no shut afterwards. You could always create a job to do that though.

Good luck in whatever method you choose.

sorry i ment 12.2.13JA1 =) i will try it next week without shut the interface down. but what happen if it fails? i saw it once: the web page doesnt appear right. do i just need to upload the ios over tftp over the cli and everything should work is that right?

I can't tell you what the problem may be if it doesn't work correctly for you. All I do know is that I didn't have any problems with leaving the radios on.

Good luck.
