For example, the Cisco Catalyst 9115AX series AP and the Cisco Catalyst 9120AX series AP use the ap1g7 AP software image file. A homogenous Cisco Embedded Wireless Controller network is one which contains APs that have the same AP software image type.

Note that the desktop (HTTP) method works only for a homogenous network. This downloaded bundle contains the AP and controller software images which need to be extracted to the computer or laptop desktop before they can be uploaded to the embedded wireless controller. Image download through desktop (HTTP) is applicable only in the network software upgrade (pre-download) scenario.įor the desktop (HTTP) method, download the software image bundle for the Cisco Embedded Wireless Controller to your computer or laptop desktop. The SFTP image download method also can be triggered using both the GUI and CLI. To download the software images from the SFTP server, in addition to the IP address of the SFTP server and the software image bundle path, you need to specify the SFTP server credentials. In the SFTP method, the AP and controller software images are stored on an SFTP server. The TFTP image download method can be triggered using both the GUI and CLI.

To download the software images from the TFTP server, you need to specify the IP address of the TFTP server and the path to the software image bundle on the TFTP server. In the TFTP method, the AP and controller software images are stored on a TFTP server. These methods are based on the location from where the controller transfers the software image to the subordinate AP: In a Cisco Embedded Wireless Controller network, there are four ways in which the software image can be downloaded from the embedded wireless controller.
