Hi @beconnect,

Yes, it's generally a good idea to upgrade your Cisco 9400 switch to a newer version of the software to take advantage of new features, security updates, and bug fixes.

Yes, it is possible to upgrade a Cisco C9400 from version 16.11.1 to version 17.03.06 directly, without upgrading to any intermediate releases. However, it is always a good practice to review the release notes for each version you are skipping to ensure that there are no compatibility issues or other known issues that might affect the stability or functionality of your network.
