Which two ways does a Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Manager software repository allow an engineer to download images on a Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Edge device? (Choose two.)

The correct answer is B. Use a remote file server that is reachable through an FTP or HTTP URL. C. Use out-of-band management to download an image from the local SD-WAN Manager server. The SD-WAN Manager software repository supports downloading images to Edge devices via a remote file server using FTP or HTTP, or through out-of-band management connectivity to the local Manager server.

Why each option

The SD-WAN Manager software repository supports downloading images to Edge devices via a remote file server using FTP or HTTP, or through out-of-band management connectivity to the local Manager server.

AUse a data plane connection to download an image from the bootflash of other Cisco WAN Edge devices.

SD-WAN Edge devices do not support downloading images from the bootflash of peer WAN Edge devices over the data plane - image distribution is centrally managed through vManage or a designated external server.

BUse a remote file server that is reachable through an FTP or HTTP URL.Correct

The SD-WAN Manager software repository allows engineers to specify a remote file server URL using FTP or HTTP protocols, enabling the Edge device to fetch the software image directly from that external server. This is a fully supported method for distributing images without requiring them to be pre-loaded onto the Manager itself.

CUse out-of-band management to download an image from the local SD-WAN Manager server.Correct

Out-of-band management connectivity allows the Edge device to download images directly from the SD-WAN Manager's local software repository over the management interface, which is a core function of the Manager's image distribution capability.

DUse an image on a USB to upload an image on the SD-WAN Manager server directly.

The SD-WAN Manager software repository feature does not include a workflow for uploading images from a USB device directly to the Manager server - USB-based loading is a local device operation separate from the repository.

EUse a control plane connection to download an image from a SD-WAN Validator controller validating the device list.

The SD-WAN Validator is a control plane orchestration component responsible for authenticating and connecting devices to the fabric, not for storing or distributing software images.
