Software Mgmt (Tab)
The Software Management application automates the steps associated with upgrade planning,
scheduling, downloading software images, and monitoring your network.
The Software Management application provides tools making it easier to store backup copies of all Cisco
software images running on network devices. It also helps you to store any additional software images
that you may wish to maintain, and to plan and execute software image upgrades to multiple devices on
the network at the same time.
It gives you flexibility in upgrading devices with software images. You can either select a set of devices
and perform an image upgrade, or select a software image and select a set of devices on which to perform
the upgrade. You can even select one of your devices as a remote stage to temporarily store a software
image.
It can analyze devices against software image requirements to determine device compatibility and make
recommendations before performing a software upgrade.
The Software Management application can also download and list applicable images from Cisco.com,
while recommending an image for the device upgrade. You should select the Cisco.com filters in
Administration preferences (Resource Manager Essentials > Admin > Software Mgmt > View/Edit
Preferences), to avail this benefit.
