ExtremeCloud IQ
Controller is
released with the latest AP images for each supported AP Type. When you upgrade ExtremeCloud IQ
Controller, in a
stand-alone deployment, the connected access points are automatically upgraded to
the latest firmware image. In a High-Availability deployment, you must manually
upgrade the APs. You can also upgrade additional devices without upgrading the controller.
To upgrade APs:
Verify that the upgrade image file is installed on ExtremeCloud IQ
Controller for the selected AP platform. If necessary, install the AP image file
onto the controller.
From the Access Points List, select one or more APs to
upgrade.
You can upgrade from the Access Points List
associated with a site. Go to Monitor > Sites. Select a site and select the Access
Points tab. Or,
Go to Configure > Devices > Access Points.
Go to the AP Upgrade Status Report to view progress of
the upgrade.
Consider the following when upgrading AP images:
Selected APs must support the
same upgrade image file. AP39xx series and Wi-Fi 6 APs have
different firmware images; therefore they cannot be selected for upgrade
together. Instead, create two AP upgrade requests:
The ExtremeWireless AP39xx Series
Access Points support the same firmware image file. They can be
upgraded together.
The ExtremeWirelessWi-Fi 6 Access Points support the same firmware image
file. They can be upgraded together.
The APs must be connected to ExtremeCloud IQ
Controller. If the AP is in a
disconnected state, the upgrade is scheduled, but cannot complete until the
AP discovers ExtremeCloud IQ
Controller .
Each ExtremeCloud IQ
Controller release includes the latest AP image files
for the supported access points. A stand-alone deployment automatically
updates the AP firmware to the latest release. For a High-Availability
deployment, upgrade all connected APs from the Access Point
List.
You can monitor the AP
upgrade process from the AP Upgrade
Report.
To display AP Upgrade events,
from the Events tab, configure your system log level to Informational.
