Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

When APs are upgraded in FTP mode, you can configure the value of max-connect-number to change the maximum number of APs that can be upgraded simultaneously.

If the number of APs to be upgraded is equal to or smaller than max-connect-number, all APs can be upgraded simultaneously.
If the number of APs to be upgraded is larger than max-connect-number, only the specified number of APs can be upgraded simultaneously. After the specified number of APs are upgraded, the remaining APs are upgraded automatically until all APs are upgraded. The number of APs that are upgraded at a time cannot exceed the value of max-connect-number.

Precautions

An external FTP server can be used, which is recommended. The AC can also function as the FTP server.

When an external FTP server is used, the maximum number of APs that can be upgraded simultaneously is the configured max-connect-number.
If an AC is used as the FTP server, a maximum of five APs can be upgraded simultaneously even if the specified number is larger than five.

When the AC functions as the FTP server, run the ap update ftp-server max-connect-number max-connect-number command to set the maximum number of APs that can be upgraded simultaneously. The value of max-connect-number is an integer ranging from 1 to 5. During the upgrade, a maximum of 1 to 5 APs can be upgraded at a time until all APs are upgraded.

If the configured number of APs to be upgraded simultaneously is larger than five, an error message will be displayed after the first five APs are upgraded. The remaining APs cannot be automatically upgraded. You have to repeat the command until all APs are upgraded.

If there are n login VTY users, the maximum number of APs that can be upgraded simultaneously is subtracted by n - 1.

Example

# Set the maximum number of APs that can be upgraded simultaneously in FTP mode to 10.
