Firmware Image Server in Cloud Network

The image check feature allows the W-IAP to discover new firmware image versions on a cloud-based image
server hosted by Dell. The location of the image server is fixed and cannot be changed by the user. Dell takes care
of managing the image server, and ensures that the image server is loaded with latest versions of Dell Instant
firmware image for its products.
The Virtual Controller (VC) in Instant AP communicates with the Image server via an Aruba Networks
proprietary protocol. The Image server queries the VC. The VC returns the following information:
Current firmware version

Type Code

Globally Unique ID (GUID)
