You can view and update the firmware versions of the APs and switches from RUCKUS One.

1. From the navigation bar, click Administration > Account Management > Version Management. The following sub-tabs are available:
   • AP Firmware
   • Switch Firmware
   • Application Library
   By default, the AP Firmware page is displayed.

   

   This page displays the following information:

   • Latest Version: The latest firmware version recommended by RUCKUS for active and legacy devices.
   • Release (Recommended): The date that the recommended release was made available.
   • Venue: The name of the venue.
   • Current AP firmware: The running version of the AP firmware.
   • Legacy AP Firmware: The legacy version of the AP firmware.
   • Firmware Type: The AP firmware: Release (Recommended) or Beta.
   • Last Update: The date when the firmware was updated for the venue.
   • Next Update Schedule: The date of the next scheduled firmware update.

   An icon in the tab name provides a visual indicator when new updates are available; pausing our cursor over the i icon displays text stating the same. 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 AP Firmware and the Firmware Type filters. You can make multiple selections to filter the AP Firmware table. 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).

2. Select the Switch Firmware tab to view the switch firmware version.

   

   The Switch Firmware page displays the following information:

   • Recommended Version: The ICX switch model number and the FastIron switch firmware version that is recommended for that switch model. Click the Show more option to display the Recommended & Latest Version information.
   • 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. Note that the recommended firmware version may not always be the same as the latest firmware version. Click the Show less option to revert the display to the Recommended Version information.
   • Venue: The name of the venue.
   • Current Firmware: The ICX switch model number and the FastIron firmware version currently running on it.
   • Status: The upgrade status of the switches. If a firmware upgrade was recently applied, the Status column reflects the result and provides a Check Status option which opens a sidebar detailing the switch name, firmware update status, the firmware version applied, and the date and time of the firmware update.
   • Last Update: The date when the firmware was updated.
   • Scheduling: The next firmware update scheduled (Not Scheduled, Multiple).

   An icon in the tab name provides a visual indicator when new updates are available; pausing our cursor over the i icon displays text stating the same. 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).

   To update the firmware version for a switch, change the update schedule, or cancel a switch firmware update at the venue level, refer to Upgrading Switch Firmware at the Venue Level. To update the firmware version for a switch, change the update schedule, or cancel a switch firmware update at the switch level, refer to Upgrading Switch Firmware at the Switch Level.

3. (Optional) On all of the Firmware-related sub-tabs, you can click Preferences (located above the right side of the table) to set your preferences for the firmware version management at the venue level.
   The firmware upgrade Preferences dialog box appears.

   Note: On the AP Firmware sub-tab, the Preferences dialog box does not include the Pre-download the firmware option.

   

4. In the Preferences dialog box, select one of these:
   • Schedule Automatically: Click Change to modify the preferred update slots.
   • Schedule Manually: You can select this option to manually update the firmware at a suitable time.
   • Pre-download the firmware: Available only in Switch Firmware Preferences, you can enable this option to download the firmware, in the background, to the switch before the scheduled update. This shortens the length of time for the actual update to complete once it begins at its scheduled time.
5. Click Save Preferences.
6. (Optional) Select the Application Library tab to view the latest application version and manage application updates for your RUCKUS tenant account.
   The Application Library page is displayed.
