Overview 1-5
1.2.1.1 Installation Feature
The upgrade/downgrade of the switch can be performed at boot time using one of the following methods:
• Web UI
• DHCP
• CLI

• Patches
The switch platform has sufficient non-volatile memory to store multiple firmware images. The switch stores
an active and a passive firmware image. The switch supports staged upgrade operations.
1.2.1.2 Licensing Support
The following licensing information is utilized when upgrading the switch.
• The maximum numbers of AP licenses a switch can adopt is 48.
• You can install/remove AP licenses in batches of 6 APs at a time.
• The Radius server and VPN capability is not a part of the licenses feature.
1.2.1.3 Configuration Management
The system supports redundant storage of configuration files to protect against corruption during a write
operation and ensures at any given time a valid configuration file exists. If a configuration file has failed to
completely execute, it is rolled back and the pre-write file is used.
Text Based Configuration
The configuration is stored in human readable format. It is stored as a set of CLI commands.
1.2.1.4 Diagnostics
The following diagnostics are available for the switch:
1. In-service Diagnostics – In-service diagnostics provide a range of automatic health monitoring features
ensuring both the system hardware and software are in working order. The in-service-diagnostics
continuously monitor any available physical characteristics (as detailed below) and issues log messages
when either warning or error thresholds are reached. There are three types of in-service diagnostics:
• Hardware– Ethernet ports, chip failures, system temperature via the temperature sensors provided
by the hardware, etc.
• Software– CPU load, memory usage, etc.
• Environmental– CPU and air temperature, fans speed, etc.
2. Out-of-service Diagnostics – Out-of-service diagnostics are a set of intrusive tests run from the user
interface. Out-of-service diagnostics cannot be run while the unit is in operation. The intrusive tests
include:
• Ethernet loopback tests
