Scheduled Upgrades

The scheduled upgrade configuration is applied only to fully deployed FortiAPs. After a FortiAP is deployed with or without firmware upgrade during its deployment/discovery, its firmware is upgraded as per the scheduled upgrade profile. For example, if an upgrade schedule profile is configured to upgrade all FAP23JF models 5 days later then an FAP23JF model deployed today will have its firmware upgraded 5 days later. To upgrade newly deployed FortiAPs, see FortiAP Platform Profile.

Notes:

A maximum of 1024 scheduled upgrade profiles can be created.
The upgrade process completion takes approximately 30 minutes if you try to upgrade multiple FortiAPs (count in 3 digits or more) simultaneously.

On the FortiLAN Cloud Home page, select the network that you want to edit.
In the Menu bar, navigate to Configuration > Device Management > Scheduled Upgrades.
Complete the following fields.

Name	The name you want to give to the scheduled upgrade profile.
Comment	A description of the profile or any other text for this profile. This field is optional.
Force Downgrade	Forcefully downgrades deployed FortiAPs with a firmware version greater than the firmware version specified in this profile.
Device Selection	You can include OR exclude specific devices for upgrade based on certain criteria; model, site, tag, device, and Platform profile. When Apply to All is enabled, the profile is applied to all FortiAPs associated with the Platform profile.
Schedule	You can configure a one-time schedule upgrade to start immediately or specify a time slot (date/time). The upgrade schedule can also be recurring, select a start and end time with the recurring frequency.
Firmware Selection	Specify the firmware version to upgrade to for a specific FortiAP model deployed in your network. By default, the latest firmware version is selected for upgrade. Note: To enable UTP functionality for FAP-U43xF series models currently on software version v6.2.1 or below, upgrade to v6.2-build0401 prior to upgrading to V6.2.2 or above.

You can perform the following additional actions, select a displayed profile and right-click.

Clone – You can clone an existing profile with a new name, the cloned profile is disabled (default).
Enable/Disable – You can enable or disable the selected profile(s).
Run Now – This is allowed only for enabled profiles that are not running. If you select multiple profiles, then at least one of them should not be running.
