Updating firmware

Expand all | Collapse all

You can update the firmware on manually selected devices or on devices that are grouped with a tag. Before updating the firmware, it must be uploaded to the orchestrator web interface. As a result of updating the firmware, a corresponding delayed task is created in the task scheduler.

To update the firmware, use the following instructions:

• Updating the firmware on manually selected CPE devices.

  To update the firmware on manually selected devices:

  1. In the menu, go to the SD-WAN section.

     By default, the CPE subsection is displayed with a table of CPE devices.

  2. Select the check boxes next to the CPE devices on which you want to update the firmware.
  3. In the upper part of the page, in the Actions drop-down box, select Update firmware.
  4. This opens a window; in that window, in the Name field, enter the name of the delayed task.
  5. In the Version drop-down list, select the firmware.
  6. In the Completion date and time field, enter the date and time when you want to run the delayed task. By default, the date and time specified is the date and time when you started creating the delayed task.
  7. To keep the CPE device configuration after updating the firmware, select the Save configuration check box. If this check box is cleared, after firmware installation, the device is reset to factory settings. This check box is selected by default.
  8. The Force update check box lets you force the firmware installation, even if the CPE's internal check shows that the new firmware is incompatible with the old one. This check box is cleared by default.
  9. Click Next.

     Two lists are displayed. The firmware of CPE devices in the upper list is updated, while the firmware of devices in the lower list is not updated. You can move devices from one list to the other.

  10. Click Schedule.

  The delayed task for updating the firmware is created and displayed in the Scheduler section. The firmware update on the CPE device will start at the configured time.
