Example for Upgrading a Switch Using Smart Upgrade
When a large number of switches need to be upgraded to the latest version, you can configure smart upgrade to upgrade the switches in a more convenient manner.
Networking Requirements
On the network shown in Figure 1, the switches reside on a public network. Smart upgrade needs to be configured to enable the switches to download system software and patches from the HOUP.
Configuration Roadmap
- Create an SSL policy and bind a CA certificate to the policy.
- Configure smart upgrade, including binding the SSL policy and enabling smart upgrade.
- Check the switch status.
- Perform smart upgrade immediately.
Procedure
- Create an SSL policy and bind a CA certificate to the policy on SwitchA. The configurations of SwitchB and SwitchC are similar to that of SwitchA, and are not mentioned here.
