Configuring automatic updates using a DHCP or Linux BootP server
B
Global options - using extended/standard options
The following are instructions for automatic firmware and configuration file updates via DHCP using
extended options or standard options configured globally.
The setup example described in this section includes:
• 1 Brocade Mobility 7131N-FGR Access Point access point
• 1 Microsoft Windows DHCP Server
• 1 SFTP Server.
To configure Global options using extended/standard options:
1. Set the Windows DHCP Server and access point on the same Ethernet segment.
2. Configure the Windows based DHCP Server as follows:
a. Highlight the Server Domain Name (for example, brocade.com). From the Action menu,
select Set Predefined Options.
b. Add the following 3 new options under DHCP Standard Options class:
NOTE
If using Standard Options and the configuration of the access point needs to be changed,
use option 129 or 188 as specified in the Extended Options table. Standard options 66
and 67 are already present in the DHCP Standard Options Class by default.
c. Highlight Scope Options and select Configure Options.
d. Under the General tab, check all 3 options mentioned within the Extended Options table
and enter a value for each option.
3. Copy both the firmware and configuration files to the appropriate directory on the SFTP Server.
By default, auto update is enabled on the access point (since the LAN Port is a DHCP Client,
out-of-the-box auto update support is on the LAN Port).
4. Restart the access point.
5. While the access point boots up, verify the access point:
• Obtains and applies the expected IP Address from the DHCP Server
• Downloads the firmware and configuration files from the SFTP Server and updates both as
required. Verify the file versions within the System Settings screen.
