Cisco C9300-24UX software upgrade

[mike.molyneux]

Hi. I've got a stack of two of these switches and running Version 16.9.4.

I want to update the software and from what I see on Cisco page for recommended releases it says the below (17.6.5 or 17.9.4)

Does anyone know if I can go straight from 16.9.4 to these versions recommended?

Also on the downloads page it lists 2 9300-24UX switches - with -A or -E on the end. How do I know which one I've got!?

Also I've googled for upgrade guides BUT they all show going it via the CLI but the switch GUI has a software upgrade option, below.

Can I just install from here rather than via CLI?

Apologies if these are basic questions, but never done a Cisco switch upgrade before. If there are artlicles I can look at to help then that would also be appreciated.

Many thanks in advance.

Hello!

Yes you can upgrade directlly from 16.9.4 to 17.9.4.

I usually work from CLI, but it should also work fine from WEBGUI.

Hi Mike,

Does anyone know if I can go straight from 16.9.4 to these versions rec4Uommended?

Yes, you can jump directly from one version to another.

Also on the downloads page it lists 2 9300-24UX switches - with -A or -E on the end. How do I know which one I've got!?

The IOS is the same for both A and E. So long as your switch is 9300-24UX the rest should not matter.

Can I just install from here rather than via CLI?

You can use either one but I prefer the CLI.

Good Luck!
