Boot sequence of Meraki MR

Could someone let me know the boot sequence of Meraki MR?

Farmware was installed at the first time that MR was connected to cloud, right?

After that, MR always download their configuration except network setting when it is rebooting?

 

There is nothing else happened during MR is rebooting?

Kind of a big deal

Not sure if there is any actual documented information on the real boot sequence.

This might help though to tell you what the AP is doing

Off the cuff the AP will first get local network settings, IP/DHCP/DNS, and use this to reach out to the Internet. The access point will contact the cloud for configuration and to check its firmware internal with what the cloud has it configured to. If the on-board firmware is 25.11 and the cloud has the network configured to use 25.13, it will then start to download the new firmware. Once that download process is complete, it will then reboot and install the new firmware and come back online.

Thank you for your reply.

It was good to know when AP is rebooting its firmware was checked if it is the latest one.
