Usage Guidelines

Usage Scenario

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

Precautions

It is recommended that you use an external SFTP server to upgrade APs. If the AC functions as the SFTP 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.
APs do not support the double quotation marks ("). Ensure that the SFTP server user name and unencrypted password configured on the AC do not contain the preceding characters. Otherwise, SFTP upgrade fails.

Example

# Configure the IP address, user name, and password of the SFTP server.
