Article Summary

This article explains how to upgrade the firmware of a single device in the Devices ▶ Firmware page.

It is also possible to create a configuration job that can be used to upgrade the firmware on multiple devices at once. See "Setting Up a Firmware Upgrade Configuration Job".


CAUTION: Performing a firmware upgrade requires a reboot of the device. Rebooting momentarily interrupts traffic and operations.

To upgrade the firmware of a single device

  1. Access the Devices ▶ Firmware page.

  2. In the left pane, select the device whose firmware you want to upgrade.

  3. In the right pane, select the firmware version that you want to install on the device.

  4. Click the Upgrade firmware Button_UpgradeFirmware.png button.

  5. In the confirmation dialog, click OK to confirm and apply. A message indicates that the firmware was upgraded.

  6. Click OK.


Note: During the upgrade process, the previous version of the firmware (rollback version) is automatically saved and can be restored if necessary. See "Rolling Back Firmware on Performance Elements".
