Download the Latest Software
HP periodically releases updated software for the AP on its Web site at http://www.hp.com/go/hpprocurve . HP
recommends that you check the Web site for the latest updates after you have installed and initialized the unit.
Three types of files can be downloaded to the AP from a TFTP server:
— image (AP software image or kernel)
— config (configuration file)
— bspBl (BSP/Bootloader firmware file)
Setup your TFTP Server
A Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server allows you to transfer files across a network. You can upload files from
the AP for backup or copying, and you can download the files for configuration and AP Image upgrades. The TFTP
server software is located on the installation CD-ROM.
NOTE
If a TFTP server is not available in the network, you can perform similar file transfer operations using the
HTTP interface.
After the TFTP server is installed:
• Check to see that TFTP is configured to point to the directory containing the AP Image.
• Make sure you have the proper TFTP server IP address, the proper AP Image file name, and that the TFTP server
is operational.
• Make sure the TFTP server is configured to both Transmit and Receive files, with no automatic shutdown
or time-out.
