Options

• AUse a data plane connection to download an image from the bootflash of other Cisco WAN Edge devices.
• BUse a remote file server that is reachable through an FTP or HTTP URL.
• CUse out-of-band management to download an image from the local SD-WAN Manager server.
• DUse an image on a USB to upload an image on the SD-WAN Manager server directly.
• EUse a control plane connection to download an image from a SD-WAN Validator controller validating the device list.

Explanation

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.

Common mistakes.

• A. 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.
• D. 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.
• E. 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.

Concept tested. SD-WAN Manager software repository image distribution methods
