A network administrator is preparing to update software across a group of Cisco Catalyst access switches using Cisco DNA Center Software Image Management (SWIM). Which two actions or prerequisites are required in Cisco DNA Center before the new software image can be successfully activated on the target devices? (Select two.)
- Tag the imported software image as a Golden Image for the targeted device model and role.Answer
- Run pre-check procedures to validate system readiness, such as checking available flash memory and device health.Answer
- CManually reconfigure the boot environment variables on each switch CLI using SSH prior to controller distribution.
- DConfigure TACACS+ AAA authentication protocols on Cisco DNA Center to encrypt the software image binary payload.
- EIssue an HTTP PUT API call to purge the running configuration on target switches before file transfer.
Answer
Tagging the imported software image as a Golden Image for the targeted device model and running pre-check procedures to validate system readiness.
In Cisco DNA Center SWIM, software deployment requires marking an image as Golden for the target device family and running pre-checks to confirm device readiness and storage capacity before activating the image.
