You can view and update the firmware versions of the devices managed using RUCKUS One, including APs, switches, and Edge devices.

   This page displays the following information:

   • Latest Version: The latest firmware version recommended by RUCKUS for devices. Click the Show more option to display the firmware version currently running on APs in the venue. Click the Show less option to revert the display to only the Latest Version information.
   • Venue: The name of the venue.
   • Current Firmware: The running version of the AP firmware for the APs present in that venue. The column displays one or more firmware versions depending upon the AP models present in that venue. You can pause the pointer over the firmware version to see the AP models running the firmware versions.
   • Last Update: The date when the firmware was updated for the venue.
   • Status: The status of AP firmware in that venue. Statuses include Up to date and Update available.

You can search the list of venues by entering a complete or partial venue name in the search field; all matching venues are displayed. You can filter the venues using the Current Firmware filter. You can sort the table entries by clicking on any table column header; for example, click Last Update to reorder the table entries by the date of the last update (in either ascending or descending order).

   • Recommended & Latest Version: The ICX switch model number, recommended firmware version for the model, and latest available firmware version with the date of release availability.

   • Venue: The name of the venue.
   • Current Firmware: The ICX switch model number and the FastIron firmware version currently running on it.
