Doug, Thanks for the posting.
I thought that each WLC on a WiSM can download 10 APs at a time. In 4.1.185.0 code we typically see 9 APs being download at a time when doing a bulk AP upgrade to LWAPP. On our 1230 APs the download seems to take approx 1.5 to 2 minutes. It sounds like you are seeing very different results in 4.2? We haven't deployed v4.2 into any production sites yet. Would you care to share any gotcha's with v4.2 in production that you have seen? Thanks, -Charles Charles E.
