2 Configure the bootptab file (/etc/bootptab) on the Linux/Unix BootP Server in any one of the
formats that follows:
Using options 186, 187 and 188:
AP47xx:ha=00a0f88aa6d8\
:sm=255.255.255.0\
:ip=157.235.93.128\
:gw=157.235.93.2\
:T186="157.235.93.250"\ <TFTP Server IP>
:T187="apfw.bin"\
:T188="cfg.txt":
Using options 66, 67 and 129:
AP47xx:ha=00a0f88aa6d8\
:sm=255.255.255.0\
:ip=157.235.93.128\
:gw=157.235.93.2\
:T66="157.235.93.250"\
:T67="apfw.bin"\
:T129="cfg.txt":
Using options sa, bf and 136:
AP47xx:ha=00a0f88aa6d8\
:sm=255.255.255.0\
:ip=157.235.93.128\
:gw=157.235.93.2\
:sa=157.235.93.250\
:bf=/tftpboot/cfg.txt\
:T136="/tftpboot/":
NOTE
The bf option prefixes a forward slash (/) to the configuration file name. The forward slash may not be
supported on Windows based TFTP Servers.
3 Copy the firmware and configuration files to the appropriate directory on the TFTP Server.
By default, auto update is enabled on the Access Point (since the LAN Port is a DHCP Client,
out-of-the-box auto update support is on the LAN Port).
4 Restart the Access Point.
