Firmware Images

Overview

The Images page within the CONTROL admin portal provides a centralized interface for managing firmware images across the Zequenze ecosystem. This page allows administrators to view, search, filter, and manage firmware images that can be deployed to devices. The interface displays key metadata about each firmware image including version information, device compatibility, and deployment status.

Key Features

• Firmware Image Repository: Displays all available firmware images in a structured table format
• Advanced Filtering: Comprehensive filter panel for narrowing down images by multiple criteria
• Status Tracking: Visual indicators showing active status and public availability
• Device Profile Association: Clear display of compatible device profiles for each image
• Version Management: Track different versions and releases of firmware images
• Organization Assignment: Images can be assigned to specific organizations within the system
• Quick Actions: Toolbar with options to add new images and perform bulk operations

Notes/Tips

Best Practices

• Image Naming: Use clear, descriptive names for firmware images (e.g., "Mikrotik 7.20.8 [MIPSBE]")
• Version Control: Maintain consistent versioning schemes (test, production versions)
• Device Profile Assignment: Always associate images with appropriate device profiles before deployment
• Active Status: Only active images are available for deployment to devices
• Public vs Private: Use the "Is public" flag to control image visibility across organizations

Important Considerations

• Architecture Compatibility: Note architecture specifications (e.g., [MIPSBE]) to ensure compatibility
• Organization Scope: Filter by organization when managing multi-tenant environments
• Sub-organizations: Enable "Sub-organizations" checkbox to include child organization images
• Status Monitoring: Red indicators for "Is public" show restricted images requiring attention
