Usage Scenario

The FTP configuration is used when the automatic upgrade and online upgrade modes are FTP. In the automatic upgrade or online upgrade, the AC sends basic FTP information to the AP, and the AP requests the FTP server for upgrade based on FTP information.
After running the ap update ftp-server command, you can perform the following operations:
1. Run the ap update mode command to set the upgrade mode to ftp-mode.
2. Run the ap update multi-load command to upgrade APs in batches.

Precautions

It is recommended that you use an external FTP server to upgrade APs. If the AC functions as the FTP server, a maximum of five APs can be upgraded simultaneously. If there are n login VTY users, the maximum number of APs that can be upgraded simultaneously is subtracted by n - 1.
The FTP server user name cannot contain the double quotation marks ("). Ensure that the FTP server user name and unencrypted password configured on the AC do not contain the preceding characters. Otherwise, FTP upgrade fails.
