Firmware Upgrade Questions

Hi All

while trying to schedule a firmware upgrade for my switches in my network zone. I realized it detected Switch-CS (Catalyst) in my network zone. I am pretty sure that I do not have any Catalyst switches in my environment as well as a Security appliance with a MX18.211.2 firmware. Am I missing out something? 

Thank you all for your time!

Do you have any combined networks?

 

If you use combined templates or auto‑firmware scheduling, the Dashboard will list firmware tracks for all device families in that network type including Catalyst CS firmware.

Hi There

Are you sure you don't have any networks created in the combined type?

It lists both for me to and I don't have and Catalyst switches either.

I've learnt to just ignore the CS line 😀

This is expected behaviour.

You could add a CS switch in the future, so it needs some concept of which firmware version to use.

Hi Philip

What about the security appliance that doesnt exist in my network zone but the firmware update is asking to upgrade it firmware version?

That is expected behaviour if it is a combined network, or the network has had a security appliance in it, or was cloned from a network that contained a security appliance.
