In the Scheduled task execution date field, enter the date and time when you want to run the task. By default, the date and time specified is the date and time when you started creating the task.
If you want to reset the CPE device to factory settings after updating the firmware, clear the Save CPE settings check box. If the check box is selected, your existing CPE device settings are not modified after a firmware update. This check box is selected by default.
When a CPE device is reset to factory settings, it is disconnected from the orchestrator. To reconnect the CPE device to the orchestrator, you need to automatically register (ZTP) the CPE device.
The Force update check box lets you force the firmware update, even if the CPE's internal check shows that the new firmware is incompatible with the old one. This check box is cleared by default.
In the Tags field, enter tags assigned to CPE devices on which you want to update the firmware. Obsolete firmware is highlighted in orange in the SW version column of the table of CPE devices. You can also find CPE devices with outdated firmware versions using the Need update filter in the upper part of the table.
Click Next.
Two tables of CPE devices are displayed. Firmware of CPE devices in the upper table is updated. Firmware of CPE devices in the lower table is not updated. Information about CPE devices is displayed in the following columns of the table:
DPID is the DPID of the CPE device.
Model is the model of the CPE device.
Name is the name of the CPE device.
SW version is the firmware version of the CPE device.
Reason is the reason why the firmware cannot be updated. This column is displayed only in the lower table.
If the upper table contains CPE devices on which you do not want to update the firmware, you can move these CPE devices to the lower table.
Click Create.
The firmware update task is created and displayed in the table. The status of the tasks is displayed in the Status column. If the firmware update task finishes successfully, its status changes to Done.
