Zorluk: KolayCisco DNA Center Enabled Device Management

What is the correct sequential order of steps required to deploy a new baseline software update across enterprise switches using Cisco DNA Center Software Image Management (SWIM)?

  1. 1Import or upload the target Cisco IOS XE software image into the Cisco DNA Center image repository.
  2. 2Tag the uploaded software image as 'Golden' for the specific device family and site role.
  3. 3Run an image compliance audit against managed network inventory to flag outdated devices.
  4. 4Schedule and execute the software image distribution and activation task on non-compliant devices.

Cevap

The correct operational order for Cisco DNA Center Software Image Management (SWIM) is: 1) Import the software image into the repository, 2) Tag the image as Golden for the target device family, 3) Perform a compliance audit against inventory devices, and 4) Distribute and activate the image on non-compliant devices.
The standard Cisco DNA Center Software Image Management (SWIM) workflow follows four logical phases: image intake into the central repository, designating the image as Golden to define baseline compliance rules, performing compliance audits against managed network inventory, and finally scheduling distribution and activation to upgrade non-compliant hardware.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Ingest software image
The software file is available locally within Cisco DNA Center image management.
The controller cannot manage or deploy images that have not been ingested into its central repository.
2
Define Golden Image standard
A software baseline is established for a specific switch family or role.
Designating an image as Golden tells the controller which version devices of that family are expected to run.
3
Execute compliance audit
Devices running mismatched software versions are marked non-compliant.
Compliance audits compare active device inventory versions against the assigned Golden image baseline.
4
Deploy image (distribute & activate)
Target devices are upgraded to the Golden software image.
Distributing transfers the file to device storage, and activation applies the update and reboots the hardware.
