Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure relate to updating network devices belonging to a group of network devices. In one aspect, a network controller coupled to the network devices of the group of network access devices, responsive to a first command, initiates a group update process for the network devices of the group is to update the network devices of the group sequentially according to an ordered list. Responsive to a second command during the group update process while a firmware image of a particular network device is updated, the network controller aborts the group update process for the network devices of the group. Aborting the group update process comprises removing a first subset of network devices subsequent to the particular network device in the ordered list from the ordered list such that the firmware image of the first subset of network devices will not be updated and rolling back the firmware image of the particular network device.
