Software Management

After you acquire the new software file, you can use one of the following methods for downloading

the software to the access point:

■ For an FTP/TFTP transfer from a server, place the software file in your FTP/TFTP server’s default

directory. Then do either of the following:

• Click on Software Upgrade

on the Administration tab of the access point’s Web interface

and use the Remote

section.

•Use the

copy tftp file command in the access point’s CLI (see below).

■ For an HTTP transfer from a PC, do the following:

• Click on Software Upgrade

on the Administration tab of the access point’s Web interface

and use the HTTP

section.

Note

Downloading new software does not change the current access point configuration. The access point

configuration is contained in a separate file that can also be transferred, for example, for archive

purposes or to be used in another access point of the same model. HP recommends that you save a

copy of the configuration file before updating your access point software. See “Transferring Config-

uration Files” in the HP ProCurve Wireless Access Point 420 Management and Configuration Guide

for information on saving the access point’s configuration file.

The access point stores two software files in its flash memory. One has a file name such as

hp420-2100.bin, which is the current version of software the access point runs. The current software

file is overwritten when new software is downloaded to the access point. The other software file,

called dflt-img.bin, contains a default version of the access point software that is used if the current

software file is deleted or fails. The dflt-img.bin file cannot be deleted from the system or overwritten.

This section describes how to use the CLI to download software to the access point. For more

information, refer to the Management and Configuration Guide for your access point.

Update Procedure from v2.0.x to v2.1.x Software

To update the access point software from v2.0.x to v2.1.x requires a special procedure that is different

from a normal update. It is important to follow the exact procedure provided in this section to

successfully download and run the v2.1.x software.
