[kevinmelka1]

Hello,

I have a question regarding the 3802i Cisco Aironet.

Indeed, there is a usb port behind the AP and my question is the following one :

It's possible to upgrade the IOS of the 3802i Cisco Aironet thanks to a USB Key ?

Thanks in advance for your return.

Best regards.

Hello,

Thanks for your answer guys :) !

I tested to upgrade the AP with a TFTP Server but it didn't work nonetheless i deactivated the Windows firewall and my antivirus :(.

Do you know another way to do it ?

Thanks in advance for your answer.

Best regards.

What command did you use?

Hello,

I used TFTP64 server but it's not really user friendly :s.

Do you know another TFTP server solution which is great except TFTP64 and TFTP Solarwinds ?

To answer to your question, i used this documentation to do it : 

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/wireless-mobility/wireless-lan-wlan/107911-ios-upgrade.html

If you have another one, it would be great :).

Thanks in advance.

TFTP64 & Solarwinds are de facto "standard" and recommended.

Can you try running TFTPd64 on a different machine? 

The command "archive download-sw tftp://TFTP_IP_ADDRESS/filename.tar" is what should be used.  

What error messages are you getting when you try the above command?
