10.41 feature discussion

[Ronald_Dvorak]

Let's discuss some of the new functions of v10.41.

I've upgraded yesterday but I already love the AP remote shell feature - thanks guys, now I don't need to search for the AP IP and open another window to ssh to the AP.
 

I've a question about the http AP image upgrade function - does this now solve the issue for AP software upgrades if the controller is behind a NAT device ?

Just upgraded my lab controller with some remote APs behind a NAT firewall and there where no issues.
It was pretty fast via the http file transfer - thanks for the function.

Thanks Ron - good to know! This will certainly make my next upgrade easier.

just to make it clear you'd need 10.41 on the AP first - I've upgraded from 10.41.01.0080 to 10.41.01.0082

Agree, that remote shell feature is great!

Have another feature discussion..... presently experience issues where DFS channels had been carefully chosen based on a site survey, but on many sites, if not all, the AP channels would all slowly but surley move to non-DFS channels.

I believe this version is now meant to help with this by automatically moving the channel back when their are no clients associated to the AP.

Is this correct? Is this on automatically or could anyone please elaborate where and how its configured?

Still, it leaves me open as to what should I do i.e. this feature seems a great idea but if APs keep regularly receiving DFS events then this might be more disruptive because of the channel change.

I'm left with deciding to use non-DFS channels only, where things might be more stable or use this feature that might ultimately give me better performance. Just at the mercy of DFS, which must be legitimate events, but what I have no idea what. Be nice if there was an easy means to work that out?

Many thanks.
