3.3.2.3. Firmware Image Update
Starting with release 7.0.1.x, the M4500 series switches support signed firmware images only. Therefore,
updating firmware directly from an unsigned 7.0.0.x image to a signed 7.0.1.x image is not supported. To update
firmware from a 7.0.0.x image to a 7.0.1.x image, you first must update to a transition image before you can
update to a signed 7.0.1.x image.
For example, from the unsigned 7.0.0.x image, update to the 7.0.1.6 transition image. Then, from the 7.0.1.6
transition image, update to signed 7.0.1.x image.
Similarly, to revert from a signed 7.0.1.x image to an unsigned 7.0.0.x image, first revert from the unsigned
7.0.1.x image to the 7.0.1.6 transition image, and then revert from the 7.0.1.6 transition image to the unsigned
7.0.0.x image.
The current transition firmware image version is 7.0.1.6. The transition firmware image lets you update to a
signed firmware image or revert to an unsigned firmware image as shown below. The text “with verification
refers to a signed firmware image and the text “without verification” refers to an unsigned firmware image.
