I am new here and I have a question about upgrading comware.
1) Is it needed to upgrade switch gradually, if I haven't upgrade switch from 2008? I am implying that in some IT system you have to upgrade first of all one version then another in order to get the latest version.
2) When I downloaded the new firmware from official site, it contains 3 files. The question is which firmware I should pick to upgrade and for what purpose other 2 files? List of files:
- 5510hi-cmw710-freeradius-r3507.bin
- 5510hi-cmw710-packet-capture-r3507.bin
- 5510HI-CMW710-R3507.ipe
