But the only two options I have are: Schedule the upgrade for: Date & Time Perform the upgrade now I don't want either of these. I want a rolling update so I do not have to manually input the dates every quarter. I think I am going around in circles here. So far, the Meraki portal's idea of an automatic update, still requires the input of a date and time each time new firmware is updates. I just want it pushed out ASAP without me needing to log in and pick a date and time for each network

Hi Ryan_Miles. I get what the statuses mean. I am more concerned with the automatic deployment of the updates. Currently, I am having to contact Network owners each quarter and negotiate switch downtime for them, because, as an organisation, we have a policy of jumping on new release firmware quickly, especially as the UI recommends this action. However, after months of seeing a new release of firmware, 98% of our switches are still on the old firmware, so we have little faith that automatic firmware is happening, or at the very least is so slow that we do not feel comfortable in the process. I would like to be able to set automatic updates (if in status of Warning) to push out at the last Sunday morning of each month at 3am; and have that applied to all new release level firmware updates. At the moment, the only control is that we can set a time and a day of the week, and it might happen anytime between now and the next three months, but we aren't confident, as we've never seen it work. It's hard to instil confidence in a service, if you can't tell them when their switches will go down, even for 15 minutes. Especially when a lot of these are 24/7 warehouses and businesses. This might be less of a 'how do I do it' post and more of a feature request.

Ah, I think I am understanding this a bit better thanks. In the past, the date I see for the firmware date... I have aways seen this date as a "update at the very latest". Is this simply a date that the new firmware has before it will be automatically updated? Thanks for your clarification, it is much appreciated.

I want to set up our switches to update automatically, ideally the at a set time each month, but appears that the 'window' can only be set for a day in the week, at a set time... This is an example of a switch setting on one of our networks. Network-Wide > General I am very confused as to what this is trying to tell me. There is an update, which is not scheduled, but has a window of Tuesday 12AM. So why didn't it install the update (which is in a warning state) on any of the previous Tuesdays at 12am? If I use the schedule tool, it just allows me to set a time and date for a one-off update. The page on Organisation > Firmware Upgrades just seems to let me select one-off upgrades across the organisation. Nothing about automatic scheduling. Do I really have to manually push updates to all the switches, every quarter? I see automatic updates mentioned all over the place, but nowhere seems to actually tell me how. Where the heck do I set up automatic updates? And if this 'window' is it... why isn't it working? Hopefully someone can make some sense here. Thanks Matt
