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).

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 TFTP Server and updates both

as required. Verify the file versions within the

System Settings

screen.

B.1.1.3 DHCP Priorities

The following flowchart indicates the priorities used by the access point when the DHCP server is
configured for multiple options.

Access point Firmware File Name

67

String

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.

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.

NOTE

The update process is conducted over the LAN or WAN port depending on
which Server responds first to the access point’s request for an automatic
update.
