FlexConnect Smart AP Image Upgrade
Efficient AP Image Upgrade will reduce the downtime for each FlexConnect AP. The basic idea is only
one AP of each AP model will download the image from the controller and will act as Master/Server,
and the rest of the APs of the same model will work as Slave/Client and will pre-download the AP image
from the master. The distribution of AP image from the server to the client will be on a local network
and will not experience the latency of the WAN link. As a result, the process will be faster.
