We are thrilled to announce the availability of early access to IOS XE image upgrades for monitored Catalyst switches!
Now, you can upgrade the IOS XE version on a monitored Catalyst switch using a simple, centralized interface on the Meraki dashboard. You have the option to start the image upgrade immediately or to schedule it for a specific software maintenance window. Additionally, you can change or cancel a scheduled upgrade.

Then, go to Organization > Early Access and use the opt-in toggle to enroll your organization in the program. Once opted in, you'll immediately have access to the image upgrade feature.
To schedule upgrades, navigate to Organization > Firmware Upgrades, click on 'Schedule Upgrades', and then select 'Cloud Monitored' to view your monitored Catalyst devices and their upgrade availability.
