Using the System > Firmware Upgrade Jobs Page

The System > Firmware Upgrade Jobs page displays a list of recent firmware upgrade jobs that have been initiated in the Devices > Manage page or Modify Devices page for a controller or autonomous AP that supports firmware upgrades in AirWave.

Successful upgrade jobs are not archived on this page -- generally you visit this page to review failed or pending firmware upgrade jobs.

Users with the AP/Device Manager role and higher can view this page. Audit-only users cannot view this page or tab.
