Cisco WAP131 and WAP351 Administration Guide
After you upload new firmware and the system reboots, the newly added
firmware becomes the primary image. If the upgrade fails, the original firmware
remains as the primary image.
When you upgrade the firmware, the WAP device retains the existing configuration
information.

Swapping the Firmware Image

To swap the firmware image running on the WAP device:
Select Administration > Manage Firmware.
The Product ID (PID VID) and active and inactive firmware versions appear.
Click Swap Active Image.
A dialog box appears confirming the firmware image switch and subsequent
reboot.
Click OK to proceed.
The process may take several minutes, during which time the WAP device is
unavailable. Do not power down the WAP device while the image switch is in
process. When the image switch is complete, the WAP device restarts. The WAP
device resumes normal operation with the same configuration settings it had
before the upgrade.

TFTP Upgrade

To upgrade the firmware on the WAP device using TFTP:
Select TFTP as the transfer method.
Enter a name (1 to 256 characters) for the image file in the Source File Name field,
including the path to the directory that contains the image to upload.
