Enable Peer-to-Peer AP Firmware Upgrade
date_range
10-Feb-25
When doing manual upgrades, you might find it convenient and time-saving to allow APs to get their firmware from peer APs instead of going to the cloud.
This is a useful option when you need to upgrade many APs of the same model.
Juniper Mist™ randomly selects an AP as the seed AP, which downloads the firmware files from the cloud. The remaining APs then download the firmware files from the seed AP locally. You can upgrade a maximum of 10 APs using one seed AP. By limiting the cloud download to just one AP, you can decrease the time needed for upgrading multiple APs.
Note:
You can use the peer-to-peer upgrade option only if you manually upgrade the firmware.
To upgrade the firmware using peer to peer upgrades:
- Select the Upgrades using peer to peer communication check box.
Note that you’ll see this check box only if you selected multiple APs of the same
model.
All the APs, except for the seed AP, reboot once the firmware upgrade is complete. The
seed AP reboots only after all the other APs have rebooted.
