Fa'aleleia Ata Lelei
- Efficient Image upgrade is an efficient way of pre-downloading the image to the APs. It works similarly to – subordinate model. An AP per model becomes the primary AP and downloads the image from the controller through the WAN link. Once the primary AP has downloaded the image, the subordinate APs start downloading the image from the primary AP. In this way, WAN latency is reduced. Primary AP selection is dynamic and random. A maximum of three subordinate APs per AP model can download the image from the primary AP.
Fa'aaliga: Do not enable this feature on controllers running Cisco IOS XE Amsterdam 17.3.x when there are Cisco Catalyst 9124AX and Cisco Catalyst 9130AX APs in the same group.

- O lenei laulau o lo'o tu'uina atu ai fa'amatalaga ma fa'amatalaga fa'atatau mo le vaega o lo'o fa'amatalaina i totonu o lenei module.
- This feature is available in all the releases after the one in which it is introduced, unless noted otherwise.

Fa'amatalaga e uiga i fafo-of-Band AP Ata Download
- I fa'agaioiga WLAN, e aoina e le AP a latou ata fa'akomepiuta ma fa'atulagaina mai le pule (in-band) i le taimi o le fa'atasi, mua'i download, ma fa'aleleia vaega i luga o le ala fa'atonutonu CAPWAP. O lenei masini e iai tapula'a i le tulaga o le lapo'a o le fa'amalama o le CAPWAP, fa'agaioiga o pepa CAPWAP, ma ata fa'atusa e siiina mai. Faatasi ai ma le faʻaleleia o ata o se gaioiga taua i le olaga o APs, o le faʻaleleia e avea ma taimi e alu ai le taimi pe a faʻateleina le faʻapipiʻiina o le tele, aemaise lava mo le faʻapipiʻiina mamao, aua o le ata e masani lava ona sau mai le pule, e tusa lava po o le a le ituaiga faʻapipiʻiina.
- Ina ia faʻaleleia vave ma sili atu ona fetuutuunai, ua faʻaleleia le auala faʻaleleia o ata AP ile Cisco IOS XE Dublin 17.11.1 faʻamalolo. O se faaleleia web server (nginx) o loʻo taʻavale i luga o le pule e fesoasoani i le faʻapipiʻiina o ata AP ina ia avanoa mai le ala CAPWAP (i fafo o le band).
Manatua
- HTTPS configuration done at the global level applies to all the APs joining the controller.
- When AP image download over an Out-of-Band method fails, the download falls back to the CAPWAP method, as a result of which the APs will not be stranded.
- AP image download over HTTPS may fail if the HTTPS server Trustpoint has a chain of CA certificates.
- Before you downgrade from Cisco IOS XE Dublin 17.11.1 to an earlier version, ensure that the Out-of-Band AP Image Download feature is disabled, as it is not supported in previous releases.
Tapula'a mo le La'uina o Ata AP i fafo-of-Band
This feature is not supported on the following platforms:
- Cisco Embedded Wireless Controller on Catalyst Access Points
- Cisco Embedded Wireless Controller on Catalyst Switches
- Cisco Wave 1 Access Points
La'u Ata AP mai le Pule Fa'aaoga HTTPS (CLI)
Ae e te le'i amataina
- HTTPS configuration must be enabled.
- The NGINXx server must be running on the controller. Use the show platform software yang-management process command to check whether the nginx server is running.
- The custom-configured port must be reachable between the controller and the corresponding AP.

For the HTTPS port, the valid values range from 0 to 65535, with a default of 8443. You cannot use port 443 for AP file transfers because it is the default port used for other HTTPS requests. Also, avoid configuring standard and well-known ports because the configuration may fail. |
| Poloaiga po o Gaioiga | Faamoemoega | |
| By default, the Efficient AP image download
feature uses port 8443 for HTTPS. If the same port is configured for HTTPS access for controller GUI, then GUI access will not work. In such instances, use a port number other than 8443 for controller GUI Access or configure a different port for AP file fesiitai ile HTTPS nai lo le 8443. Port 8443 is customizable.
