Aironet 340 and encryption

[u.naranjo]

Hi,

I tried setting up encryption between two 340 bridges running versions BR500E V8.80 on one end and BR500E V8.65 on the other, when I activated encryption on, it brought down the connection, then I had to remove encryption on the other end to get the connection back again?. Do I have to upgrade the firmware to match at both ends? if so can I just copy the image from the bridge with the most updated image to the other one? can you sort of spell out the procedure to do this?

Thanks,

Uriel Naranjo

Use the Distribute option to send the firmware or configuration from one Aironet 340 Series Bridge to all other Aironet 340 Series Bridges on the infrastructure (whether they are repeaters or are connected to the wired infrastructure). By using the distribute function the time needed to perform firmware upgrades or make global changes to the configuration is greatly decreased.
