Firmware Update Instructions:

Starting from the 7.0.1.10 release, only signed firmware images are supported. Updating the firmware directly from the unsigned version (7.0.0.20 or prior versions) to signed version 7.0.1.x is not supported. Instead, you must update to a transition ONIE image first, and then to the signed ONIE image version 7.0.1.x as shown below:

  1. Update from unsigned firmware version 7.0.0.x to transition firmware version 7.0.1.6 
  2. Update from transition firmware version 7.0.1.6 to signed firmware version 7.0.1.x

As of this release, the transition firmware image version is 7.0.1.6. The transition firmware image provides options to update to signed or unsigned firmware images as shown below. Transition firmware shouldn’t be used for production. In the transition firmware “with verification” refers to signed firmware image and “without verification” refers to the unsigned firmware image
