5.2.11.1 Upgrading AP6532 Firmware from 5.1
Profile Management Configuration
An existing AP6532 deployment running factory installed 5.1 version firmware can be upgrade to this most recent 5.4 version
baseline. To upgrade AP6532 from the 5.1 version baseline:
Ensure you have the following resources:
• A computer with a SSH client and a FTP or TFTP server
• The latest AP6532 5.4 image file in the computer’s FTP or TFTP directory
• A PoE hub
1. Calculate the AP6532's IP address.
The AP6532 has an IP of 169.254.<last two digits of its MAC address in decimal>, with subnet mask of 255.255.0.0. For
example, if the MAC address is 00-23-68-86-48-18, the last two digits of its IP address will be 72.24
(48 hexadecimal = 72 decimal, 18 hexadecimal = 24 decimal). So the IP address is 169.254.72.24, with subnet mask of
255.255.0.0.
2. Configure the computer with an IP address in the same subnet. For example, 169.254.0.1, and a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0.
3. Ping the AP6532 from the computer to ensure IP connectivity.
4. Open an SSH session on the computer and connect to the AP6532’s IP address.
5. Login with a username and password of admin/motorola. The CLI will prompt for a new password. Re-enter the password
and confirm.
Enable Controller Upgrade
of AP Firmware
Select the access point model to upgrade to a newer firmware version using its
associated Virtual Controller AP’s most recent firmware file for that model. The only
available option is AP71XX.
Number of Concurrent
Upgrades
Use the spinner control to define the maximum number (from 1 - 20) of adopted APs
that can receive a firmware upgrade at the same time. Keep in mind, during a
firmware upgrade, the access point is offline and unable to perform its normal
wireless client support function until the upgrade process is complete.
