NOTE
If the firmware files are the same, the firmware will not get updated. If the configuration file name
matches the last used configuration file on the access point or if the configuration file versions are
the same, the access point configuration will not get updated.
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 access point (either a Mobility 7131 Access Point or Mobility 7131N Access Point model)
• 1 Microsoft Windows DHCP Server
• 1 TFTP 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, apfw.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 TFTP 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).
