Upgrading Switches

RUCKUS switches starting from 08.0.90 releases supports unified images which require two step process from prior releases. The two step process is:

  1. Step 1 - Upgrade from 08.0.80 (non- Unified FastIron Image (UFI) or UFI) > 08.0.90 UFI
  2. Step 2 - Upgrade from 08.0.90 UFI > 08.0.90a UFI

    Note: Refer to RUCKUS FastIron Software Upgrade Guide, 08.0.90 for details.

    Ensure that the image version in both primary and secondary partition use 8.0.80 or later version.

You can upgrade switches per switch group or selected switches as explained in the following sections.

In this section:

  1. Scheduling a Firmware Upgrade for Switch Group
    You can upgrade a switch group on a Level 1 group that has no default firmware setting. The forced upgrade allows the device to remain in the same firmware type (Layer 2 still Layer 2, Layer 3 still Layer 3) with only a change to the version type.
  2. Scheduling a Firmware Upgrade for Selected Switches
    You can upgrade or downgrade the firmware version of a switch or multiple switches that you are monitoring. You can upgrade the firmware on demand or schedule a firmware update for a list of selected switches.
