Configure Multicast Firmware Upgrade for Access Points When you add access points to the managed list (see Chapter 7, Discover and Manage Access Points), the wireless controller upgrades the firmware of the access points to the latest firmware that is loaded on the wireless controller. By default, this firmware upgrade process uses multicast, which allows all access points to be upgraded simultaneously. If you need to, you can disable multicast and let the wireless controller use unicast for the firmware upgrade process (see Disable Multicast Firmware Upgrade on page 226). Also, if the multicast firmware upgrade process fails three times, the wireless controller automatically switches to the unicast firmware upgrade process. With the default multicast firmware upgrade process, the wireless controller distributes multicast IP addresses to the access points, enabling them to join the multicast group and to receive the firmware upgrade.
