The article details the possible procedures to exclude devices from the automatic firmware upgrade.
Environment
S.G. 4.1.
Information
-
Approach 1
-
For each of the modems, you want to skip, add a device attribute called EXCLUDE_FIRMWARE_UPGRADE with a specific value.
-
In the Pre-Upgrade policy add a new Unconditional Result policy action before the current actions.
-
On this new policy action created in step 2, use the action conditions to specify devices with that attribute having the value specified in step 1 and set the return result to Fail.
-
-
Approach 2
-
Add a new Pre-Upgrade policy with lower precedence than the existing Pre-Upgrade policy.
-
Using the Filter tab, specify the excluded devices.
-
Add an Unconditional Result Action and specify the result to Fail.
When processing these excluded devices, this specific policy should be retrieved, and the FAILED result will skip the firmware upgrade. -
All other devices will pick the pre-existing Pre-Upgrade policy.
