The topic of keeping firmware and/or software that keeps your network equipment running current is not as straight forward as you might think.

Let me start from a different perspective. When researching equipment and vendors, I like to see if they have a support community and how often they update their firmware/software as well at the products’ technical specifications. I have found some real gems with this kind of background work. A few years ago I discovered a vendor that provided free management software that also performed firmware uprades for free. And it works great!! Another key point is if the vendor charges for firmware/software and what the requirements are to register on the support forum.

Along with this point, I try to determine the firmware upgrade process and if customers have had issues performing this procedure in the past. I personally find that if support forums are easy to join, members tend to share and collaborate tips, tricks and experiences more.
