    Convert from a server using tftp, ftp or scp and copy the instant image version in the appropriate folder


    Tasks

    • Check ap is up from md perspective
    [MDC]# show ap database long status up

    • add an ap a time
    [MDC]#ap convert add ap-name <ap-name>
    1. Check that the ap was added
      [MDC] #show ap convert-status
       
    1. Convert:[MDC] #ap convert active specific-aps server tftp <server-ip> <image-file>
       
    1. Check that the image file was downloaded successfully: [MDC] #show ap convert-download-log

    Hi Haythem,

    Note that it's not supported in a production environment.

    Second, be carefull using the right country code because it's not interchangeable, you can write it only once!

    Third, its not working on all model access points ;)
