Click the Apply button. Your settings are saved. Disable Multicast Firmware Upgrade There might be network configurations in which you cannot use multicast. If you disable multicast on the AP Upgrade Setting page, the firmware upgrade process uses unicast, which is a slower process because the firmware upgrade is applied to groups of access points instead of simultaneously to all access points. The time that the unicast firmware upgrade process takes depends on the network load and on the type of Ethernet interface to which the wireless controller is connected. To disable multicast firmware upgrade for access points: 1. Open a web browser, and in the browser's address field, type the wireless controller's IP address. By default, the IP address is 192.168.0.250. The wireless controller's login window opens. 2. Enter your user name and password. 3. Click the Login button. The wireless controller's web management interface opens and displays the Summary page. 4. Select Maintenance > Upgrade > AP Upgrade Settings. 5. Clear the Enable Multicast check box. This check box is selected by default. 6. Click the Apply button. Your settings are saved. Maintain the Wireless Controller and Access Points 279
