How long will upgrade take?

Question

Hi

I am running Zone Director (3000) with version 9.4.0.0 build 110 firmware and I am planning to upgrade to the latest version (9.6.1.0.15) and just wonderd how long this would take.  I know I have to upgrade to version 9.4.2 first so ineffect two upgrades.

Also am I right in saying that if I upgrade the Zone Director device, then any APs connected to it will also upgrade as well?

Thanks

Ian

The time varies a bit, but for scheduled outage purposes, you should allow about 1 hour for each upgrade (so in your case a 2 hour window). Chances are it will complete early.

And yes, the ZoneDirector will automatically upgrade each managed AP to the same version (that's part of why the time varies)
