    GUI firmware upgrade does not respect upgrade path

    GUI firmware upgrade does not respect upgrade path

    When performing a firmware upgrade that requires multiple version jumps, the Follow upgrade path option in the GUI does not respect the recommended upgrade path, and instead upgrades the firmware directly to the final version. This can result in unexpected configuration loss. To upgrade a device in the GUI, upgrade to each interim version in the upgrade path individually.

    For example, when upgrading from 7.0.7 to 7.0.12 the recommended upgrade path is 7.0.7 -> 7.0.9 -> 7.0.11 -> 7.0.12. To ensure that there is no configuration loss, first upgrade to 7.0.9, then 7.0.11, and then 7.0.12.
