NOTE: The advice given here is purely for educational purposes. Please test this upgrade process out before pressing the button on 100’s of devices. Every network environment is different. Ensure you are 100% happy with the process before updating multiple Cisco switches in a production environment. I cannot be held responsible for any outages caused by Cisco switches failing to reboot!
