Abstract
Example implementations relate to upgrading access points (APs). In some examples, a primary AP may comprise a processing resource and a memory resource storing machine readable instructions to determine, in response to receiving a data transmission from a secondary AP, whether an image version of the secondary AP and a class of the secondary AP are a same image version and class as the primary AP, determine whether the class of the secondary AP is a same class as a seed AP, and instruct the secondary AP, in response to the seed AP being the same class as the secondary AP, to upgrade the image version of the secondary AP from the seed AP.
Claims12
A primary access point (AP), comprising:
- a processing resource;
- and
- a memory resource storing machine readable instructions to cause the processing resource to:
- determine, in response to receiving a data transmission from a secondary AP, that an image version and a class of the secondary AP are different from an image version and class of the primary AP;
- determine that the class of the secondary AP is a same class as a seed AP;
- instruct the secondary AP to upgrade the image version of the secondary AP from the seed AP.
A non-transitory machine readable storage medium having stored thereon machine readable instructions to cause a computer processor to:
- determine, in response to receiving a data transmission from a secondary AP, that an image version and a class of the secondary AP are different from an image version and class of the primary AP;
- determine that the class of the secondary AP is a same class as a seed AP;
- instruct the secondary AP to upgrade the image version of the secondary AP from the seed AP.
A method, comprising:
- determine, by a primary access point (AP) in response to receiving a data transmission from a secondary AP, that an image version and a class of the secondary AP are different from an image version and class of the primary AP;
- determine, by the primary AP, that the class of the secondary AP is a same class as a seed AP;
- instruct, by the primary AP, the secondary AP to upgrade the image version of the secondary AP from the seed AP.
