As my first project as a newly minted netops employee, I've been tasked with researching and upgrading the firmware on some switches. Sweet, first project ever! Thinking through things, I realized that I couldn't just upgrade the firmware, reboot the switch, and declare it done. Anyone have a reference or framework for being able to say I tested more than just pinging a couple of hosts and confirming I had access to the internet?
Edit: Forgot to mention that I do know this is going to be an after hours/change window kind of thing with reboots of the devices. I'm just unclear on what kind of baseline I'd be looking for post update.
