    Upgrading firmware for managed switches

    Upgrading firmware for managed switches

    You can use FortiManager to upgrade firmware for FortiSwitch units. By default, FortiManager retrieves the firmware from FortiGuard.

    You can also optionally import special firmware images for FortiSwitch to the FortiGuard module, and then use them to upgrade FortiSwitch units.

    To upgrade firmware for managed switches:
    1. Go to FortiSwitch Manager > Device & Groups
    2. In the tree menu, select a FortiGate.

      The managed FortiSwitches are displayed in the content pane.

    3. Right-click a FortiSwitch, and select Upgrade.

      The FortiSwitch Firmware Upgrade dialog box is displayed.

    4. Select the firmware, and click Upgrade Now.
