Hi All, 

I have a Cisco switch C9300-48T which is running at old version fuji -16.9.3 and would like to upgrade to Bengaluru - 17.6.5. 
However, can I check if i could upgrade directly from Fuji 16.9.3 to Bengaluru - 17.6.5? 
I checked under Rommon versions Release:
Bengaluru 17.6.5 requires Rommon version of 17.6.1r[FC2]. How do i upgrade the Rommon version? 

Below is the show version of the switch.

Yes and it will take around 15 to 24 minutes because of a mandatory micro-code update.

Dear Leo, 
Can i upgrade directly from 16.9.3 to Bengaluru - 17.6.5? For rommon version, will it be automatically upgraded?

Yes.  ROMMON (aka "micro-code") will get upgraded.

Dear Leo, 

So basically, i just copy tftp: flash: for the IOS version 17.6.5 into the switch. 
no boot system from the old firmware. 
boot system switch all for the IOS version 17.6.5. 
reload the switch. 
Then the Rommon version 17.6.1r[FC2] will automatically upgraded after the reload of the switch? 

Please read attachment.
