archive upload-sw missing in 1815i with Mobility Express

[ghijkmnop]

After getting a Cisco device set up, my habit is to back it up in case something bad happens. I am unable to do this with the standard method on the new 1815i I set up yesterday. The upload-sw command is missing from archive.

Is there an alternate method of backing up my device, or do I have to start from scratch if the device crashes?

Hi

Have you tried this ? This process is for upgrade but the idea is the same.

Step 1  Log in to Cisco 1850 AP running Mobility Express controller using Telnet or SSH.

Step 2  Specify the data type, using the following command:

transfer download datatype ap-image

Step 3  Specify the transfer mode, using the following command:

transfer download ap-images mode tftp

Step 4  Specify the IP address of the TFTP server, using the following command:

transfer download ap-images serverIp <IP addr>

Step 5  Specify the path of the AP images on the TFTP server, using the following command:

transfer download ap-images imagePath <path to AP images>

Note   

For successful image pre-download, ensure that path to the AP images is correct.

Step 6  Pre-download the image on the APs, using the following command:

transfer download start

This is helpful.

Would this be the same procedure when trying to upload to the TFTP server (except use transfer upload)?

Additionally, what is the naming convention here when saving? I have moved from the Aironet 702 to the 1815, and it's not clear to me in the documentation.

Thanks again.

I believe so. Although usually I don't back up my images.

 I don't think there are name convention for saving file. I think you can choose whatever you want.
