When the firmware has been uploaded to Kemp 360 Central Global Repository, LoadMasters can be updated individually or in groups (up to a maximum of 13 LoadMasters). To do this, follow the steps below:

Note: The LoadMaster will be automatically rebooted after the firmware update has completed. This may result in a brief service outage. If possible, perform upgrades during a maintenance window or during known periods of reduced traffic.
  1. Click the cloud icon on the left of the screen.
  2. Select the System Configuration tab.

  3. Select either an individual LoadMaster, or a network - depending on whether you want to update an individual LoadMaster or multiple LoadMasters on a network. You can select a maximum of 13 devices to update at one time. If you have multiple devices selected over different pages, you can click Reset to reset your selection.

    Note: For LoadMasters configured in HA Pairs, you can only schedule an upgrade on the individual LoadMasters in the pair, and not using the HA Shared IP address.
  4. Click Select a firmware to apply to display the list of available firmware updates.
  5. Click the desired firmware version.
  6. If a network was selected, select the check-box(es) of the LoadMaster(s) to be updated.
  7. Click the Update Firmware button.
    Note: A warning displays if the firmware version being installed is lower than the current LoadMaster firmware version. This may result in a loss of some functionality.
    Note: LoadMasters with firmware between 7.1-26 and 7.1-30b have reduced statistics functionality.
    Note: Kemp 360 Central does not work with firmware below 7.1-26.

  8. Click OK to proceed.
  9. Wait for the firmware update to complete.

When the update is finished, the LoadMaster automatically reboots,

When the LoadMasters come back online, Kemp 360 Central reflects their current status.
