M4300 Firmware Upgrade Path from 12.0.11.16 to 12.0.17.19

[QuimRoscas]

Hello,

I just inherited management of some switches with old firmware... Has anyone successfully done a direct upgrade from firmware train 12.0.11.x to 12.0.17.x ?

Can support please put up an article with Upgrade Path between major versions at least?

I see a lot of questions regarding this... It's always concerning to do remote upgrades without the peace of mind that an official Firmware Upgrade Path from netgear support, would bring us all!

Please consider this request seriously.

Is it safe to do a direct upgrade from firmware train 12.0.11.x to 12.0.17.x ?

About Boot Code... Does release 12.0.17.x still uses boot code 1.0.0.9 or do we need to update boot code?

Thank you
