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.
