Upgrading firmware for managed switches

  1. Go to FortiSwitch Manager > Device & Groups
  2. In the tree menu, select a FortiGate.

    The managed FortiSwitches are displayed in the content pane.

  3. Right-click a FortiSwitch, and select Upgrade.

    The FortiSwitch Firmware Upgrade dialog box is displayed.

  4. Select the firmware, and click Upgrade Now.
