Upgrades for Edge 8000 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.

When the installation finishes, the system automatically restores the configuration from the backup. Perform a backup first in case an error occurs during the upgrade and the configuration must be restored from backup.
