What is the procedure to add software images to the repository in the Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN manager server?
The correct answer is B. The software images are stored on the local SD-WAN Manager server and downloaded to the SD-WAN devices over an out-of-band management connection. The procedure for adding software images to the repository in the Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager involves storing images locally and then deploying them to devices via an out-of-band management connection.
Question
Exhibit
Options
- AThe SD-WAN Manager server sends the access request to the SD-WAN device and connects to the remote file server to download the software images.
- BThe software images are stored on the local SD-WAN Manager server and downloaded to the SD-WAN devices over an out-of-band management connection.
- CThe SD-WAN device sends the HTTP URL to the SD-WAN Manager server and connects to the remote file server to download the software images.
- DThe software images are stored on the remote SD-WAN Manager server after downloading to the SD-WAN devices over a data plane connection.

Why each option
The procedure for adding software images to the repository in the Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager involves storing images locally and then deploying them to devices via an out-of-band management connection.
The SD-WAN Manager is the central repository for images and does not rely on SD-WAN devices to access remote file servers for its own image collection.
The software images are first uploaded and stored on the local SD-WAN Manager server's repository, which acts as a central hub. From this repository, the SD-WAN Manager securely downloads these images to the individual SD-WAN devices (vEdge/cEdge) typically over an out-of-band management connection.
SD-WAN devices do not instruct the SD-WAN Manager to download software images from remote file servers for its repository.
Software images are stored on the SD-WAN Manager *before* being downloaded to devices, not after, and the primary method for this transfer is usually an out-of-band management connection, not solely a data plane connection.
