30.3 Scheduled Firmware Upgrade

You can set the VSG to automatically check and download a new firmware from a TFTP server. This allows you to automate the firmware upgrade process if you have more than one VSG on your network. A synchronization file contains information on firmware version and filename. A sample synchronization file is shown next.
