Initial Cloud support for Fusion Switch is released

Overview

We're excited to announce initial Cloud support for IgniteNet's Fusion 24-port PoE Switch!

What does this initial release include?

Monitoring and historical stats
Offline alerting
Remote firmware upgrades*

You can get the latest firmware (v1.0.2.3) from our support site here.

Note: Your switch must running a firmware version of at least 1.0.2.2+ in order to upgrade the firmware from the cloud.

Next, let's see what's different in the Cloud's UI.

Dashboard page

From the device dashboard of your switch, you can view and monitor the "live data" directly from your switch, such as temperature, port status, power usage, and port traffic.

You can also remotely reboot your switch from the LIVE ACTIONS menu.

Ports page

On the Ports page, you can view your switch's traffic rates over time by port.

There's also a full table to show you the status of each port in more detail:

Port details

To view historical info for a specific port, just click on the DETAILS button, and you can see traffic and packet rates over time as well as the MAC address table for the specified port.

How to upgrade your switch

To do this, go to System->Maintenance, and click the "Apply" button under the "Schedule a System Reboot" heading. ![alt](https://blog.ignitenet.com/content/images/2016/12/Screen-Shot-2016-12-16-at-8.51.37-AM.png)
