### Auto Firmware Update on Switch Discovery
2652
+
2653
+
[Auto Firmware Update on Switch Discovery][63] automatically upgrades a new switch to the target firmware version before registering it to the ACI fabric. This feature activates in three scenarios:
2654
+
2655
+
* when adding a new switch to expand the fabric
2656
+
* when replacing an existing switch
2657
+
* when initializing and rediscovering an existing switch
2658
+
2659
+
It does not activate during regular upgrades initiated through the APIC.
2660
+
2661
+
Due to [CSCwe83941][62], if a new switch is running 6.0(1), 6.0(2) or any version older than 5.2(8), attempting to upgrade it to 6.0(3)+ using Auto Firmware Update will fail. The switch will become unusable until a manual recovery procedure is performed directly on the device.
2662
+
2663
+
While this issue does not occur during standard upgrades, it is important to be aware of the risk when your target version is 6.0(3) or newer and the switch is running 6.0(1), 6.0(2), or a version older than 5.2(8). Auto Firmware Update may get triggered and hit this issue during switch replacement in an upgrade window or if you need to re-initialize a switch after a failed upgrade.
2664
+
2665
+
To avoid this risk, consider disabling Auto Firmware Update before upgrading to 6.0(3)+ if any switches are running the affected older versions. In the future, ensure that any new switch is running a compatible version before re-enabling Auto Firmware Update and registering it to the fabric.
2666
+
2667
+
!!! note
2668
+
This issue occurs because older switch firmware versions are not compatible with switch images 6.0(3) or newer. The APIC version is not a factor.
