A network administrator is executing an automated software upgrade for a cluster of Cisco Catalyst access switches using Cisco DNA Center Software Image Management (SWIM). What is the correct sequence of steps required to complete the complete end-to-end SWIM deployment workflow?
- 1Upload the target Cisco IOS XE software image file into the Cisco DNA Center Image Repository.
- 2Designate the imported software image as 'Golden' for the specific Catalyst switch model family.
- 3Initiate the Image Distribution job to copy the binary file from Cisco DNA Center to the switch flash storage.
- 4Run the Pre-checks validation to verify flash memory space, hardware compatibility, and system readiness.
- 5Execute the Image Activation job to set new boot variables, reboot the switch into the new software version, and run Post-checks.
Cevap
The correct operational order for the Cisco DNA Center Software Image Management (SWIM) workflow is: 1) Upload the software image file into the Cisco DNA Center Image Repository, 2) Designate the software image as Golden for the specific Catalyst switch model family, 3) Initiate the Image Distribution job to copy the binary file to switch flash storage, 4) Run Pre-checks validation to verify system readiness, and 5) Execute the Image Activation job to set boot variables, reboot the device, and run Post-checks.
The Cisco DNA Center SWIM lifecycle follows a strict logical process. First, the installation file is uploaded into the central repository. Next, administrators tag the image as 'Golden' for the targeted switch family to establish compliance baseline. Then, distribution transfers the binary onto the managed switch's local storage. Pre-checks validate storage capacity and configuration state prior to disruption. Finally, activation updates boot parameters, reloads the node into the new release, and executes post-checks to confirm full network recovery.
