N2000: Updating CPLD on stack members
Hi!
We are managing our switches using OMNM.
When updating firmware on these:
1. How important is it to upgrade CPLD as well?
- We can do this remote using "update CPLD" and it will perform a reboot.
2. But what about the stacks. When I run the command, it is only applied to the master switch?
- We can use the command 'devshell cpldUpdate' on serial connection to each member in the stack, but then we need to be onsite - which would be a enourmous job to do on all of our stacks..
What are your routines regarding CPLD and stack?

Thanks for your reply.
I understand that it is recommended to do the CPLD update on all switches.
But in the stacks, is it normal procedure to travel around to each site to do the update on stack members, or do network administrators generally just update the master switch'es CPLD remote ?

How do I tell if each switch in the stack has the latest CPLD (20)?
