Understanding the Upgrade Analysis Report
The Upgrade Analysis report summarizes the impact to and prerequisites for a new software deployment
for the selected devices. It is generated by the Cisco.com Upgrade Analysis (
Planning an Upgrade From
Cisco.com) and Repository Upgrade Analysis (Planning an Upgrade From Repository) options.
The information that is shown in this report depends on the device type you have selected. See these
tables to understand the Upgrade Analysis Report,
Table 12-6 and Table 12-7.
Locate your device in the Supported Image Import Features for Software Management table on
Cisco.com. For some devices the upgrade analysis option may not be available yet.
