Managing Firmware
Each firmware image includes a compatibility catalog that identifies supported types and switch models. APIC maintains a catalog of the firmware images, switch types, and models that are allowed to use that firmware image. The default setting is to reject a firmware update when it does not conform to the compatibility catalog.
APIC has an image repository for compatibility catalogs, controller firmware images, and switch images. The administrator can download new firmware image to the APIC image repository from an external HTTP server or SCP server.
Note |
Before you upgrade the switches, the APICs must have completed upgrading and have a health state of Fully Fit. |
