6. After the switch has finished rebooting, log in and verify that the firmware has been updated to the 5.1.9.3
version using the show version command. A single switch will typically reboot in around two minutes. A
stack may take significantly longer to complete the upgrade process.

7. The switch is now ready for normal operation. Verify the configuration and make any changes needed prior
to connecting the switch to the operational network.
NOTE: After upgrading to the 5.1.9.3 firmware, one can emulate the earlier
firmware default behavior for privileged exec (enable) mode access by
setting the enable authentication method to enableList.
