Overview of the Device Setup > Upload Firmware & Files Page
AMP enables automated firmware distribution to the devices on your network. Once you have downloaded the
firmware files from the vendor, you can upload this firmware to AMP for distribution to devices via the Device
Setup > Upload Firmware & Files page.
This page lists all firmware files on AMP with file information. This page also enables you to add new firmware
files, to delete firmware files, and to add New Web Auth Bundle files.
The following additional pages support firmware file information:
 Firmware files uploaded to AMP appear as options in the drop-down menus on the Group > Firmware page
and on individual APs/Devices > Manage pages.
 Use the AMP Setup page to configure AMP-wide default firmware options.
Table 31 below itemizes the contents, settings, and default values for the Upload Firmware & Files page.

Setting Default Description
Attempt to ping
devices that
were
unreachable
via SNMP
Yes  When Yes is selected, AMP attempts to ping the AP device.
 Select No if performance is affected in negative fashion by this function. If a large number
of APs are unreachable by ICMP, likely to occur where there is in excess of 100 APs, the
timeouts start to impede network performance.
NOTE: If ICMP is disabled on the network, select No to avoid the performance penalty caused
by numerous ping requests.
