In Cisco Meraki, how is the firmware upgrade process typically initiated?

By sending a technician to each site with a USB drive containing the firmware

By scheduling the upgrade from the Meraki dashboard, which then pushes the firmware to the devices

By downloading a firmware file from Cisco's website and manually uploading it to each device

By using a third-party network management tool to install the firmware

A network administrator wants to upgrade firmware on a network with multiple device types. The company has a maintenance window from 11:00 PM to 1:00 AM. The administrator wants to minimize the risk of upgrade failures. What should the administrator do?

Use the beta channel to get the latest firmware that may have fewer bugs.

Upgrade only the most critical devices and leave others on the old firmware.

Schedule the upgrade for all devices at the same time to save time.

Upgrade devices in phases, starting with less critical devices, and monitor each phase.

A network administrator is planning a firmware upgrade for a network with multiple MX appliances and MR access points. The upgrade must be completed within a 2-hour maintenance window. What should the administrator do to ensure the upgrade completes within the window?

Verify that all devices are online and have no pending configuration changes before scheduling the upgrade.

Use the beta channel to get the latest firmware that may upgrade faster.

Upgrade the devices in phases, starting with the least critical devices, to reduce risk.

Schedule the upgrade to start at the beginning of the window and monitor progress continuously.

After a firmware upgrade, a network administrator notices that a specific feature is not working as expected on some devices. The upgrade was from a stable to a newer stable version. What should the administrator do first?

Open a support case immediately.

Check the release notes for the new firmware to see if the feature has changed or is deprecated.

Reboot the affected devices to see if the issue resolves.

Roll back all devices to the previous firmware version.

When planning a firmware upgrade for a production network, which channel should an administrator choose?

Stable channel, to ensure reliability and minimize risk of issues

Any channel, as they are all equally reliable

Alpha channel, to get early access to features

Beta channel, to get the latest features as soon as possible
