DescriptionThis article explains how to upgrade an AP manually from an AP prompt.
ScopeFirmware: 6.x and above.
SolutionWhen the forced upgrade of an AP fails on the controller with the upgrade ap same <ap id> force, it is possible to connect to the AP that needs to be upgraded from the controller and perform the following steps:
Connect ap <ap id>
ap-id> file readdelay 100
ap-id> file download runtime1 store /opt/meru/images/<software version>/<path to the right AP model upgrade.tar file>
Example
Execute the following commands to upgrade an AP332 to 7.0-10 release directly from the AP
WLC(15)# connect ap 11
ap 11> file readdelay 100
ap 11> file download runtime1 store /opt/meru/images/meru-7.0-10-0/ppc/ap330/upgrade.tar
The following list shows the complete path of upgrade.tar files for each AP model for a specific release on the controller.
We could replace the above command with the suitable path to upgrade.tar file to manually download the image from controller to AP.
AP822: /opt/meru/images/<release version>/arm/ap800b/upgrade.tar
AP122: /opt/meru/images/<release version>/arm/ap122/upgrade.tar
OAP8xx: /opt/meru/images/<release version>/arm/oap800/upgrade.tar
AP332: /opt/meru/images/<release version>/ppc/ap330/upgrade.tar
AP3xx: /opt/meru/images/<release version>/ppc/ap300/upgrade.tar
AP4xx: /opt/meru/images/<release version>/ppc/ap400/upgrade.tar
AP822v1/AP832: /opt/meru/images/<release version>/ppc/apng/upgrade.tar
AP10xx: /opt/meru/images/<release version>/mips/ap1000/upgrade.tar
AP110: /opt/meru/images/<release version>/mips/ap110/upgrade.tar
