Image Error Checking during File Transfer

The Access Point performs checks to verify that an image downloaded through HTTP or TFTP
is valid. The following checks are performed on the downloaded image:
Zero Image size
•
Large image size
•
Non VxWorks image
•
AP image
•
Digital signature verification
•
If any of the above checks fail on the downloaded image, the Access Point deletes the
downloaded image and retains the old image. Otherwise, if all checks pass successfully, the AP
deletes the old image and retains the downloaded image.
These checks are to ensure that the AP does not enter an invalid image state. The storage of
the two images is only temporary to ensure the proper verification; the two images will not be
stored in the AP permanently.
Image error checking functions automatically in the background. No user configuration is
required.
