NOTES
This cmdlet requires a connection to an OPNSense firewall. Use Connect-OPNSense to establish a connection. Upgrading the firmware will require a reboot of the firewall for the changes to take effect. It is strongly recommended to create a backup of the firewall configuration before upgrading the firmware. This cmdlet performs a major version upgrade, which may have significant changes and potential compatibility issues.
