Configuring Centralized Image Upgrades
The centralized image upgrade feature introduced in AOS-W 6.3 allows the master switch to automatically
upgrade its associated local switches by sending an image from an image server to one or more local switches.
If your master switch supports different local switch models, you can upload different image types to the
server, and the centralized image upgrade feature will send the local switch only the type of image that switch
supports.
Configuring Centralized Image Upgrades
This feature can be configured on a master switch only, and supports up to 100 simultaneous downloads. You
can configure a centralized image upgrade using the WebUI or command-line interfaces.
Using the WebUI
1. Navigate to Maintenance > Controller > Image Management.
2. Click the Local Configuration tab.
3. Click the Enable checkbox to enable this feature. When this option is selected, the WebUI displays the
following centralized image configuration parameters.
