Upgrades for software releases, whether for a patch, minor release, or major software release, all work the same way: Ribbon provides a new image to install. The image file contains all the application and operating system software needed to support the release.
Use this workflow to perform a software upgrade. This workflow applies to all Edge 8000 Series devices.

1 The utility for installing an image file includes an automatic backup of the running configuration settings before the installation. When the installation is completed the system will restore the running configuration from the backup. Perform a backup first in case an error occurs during the upgrade and the backup must be re-installed.
