Chapter 12 Managing Software Images Using Software Management
Software Management Administration Tasks
Use SSH for software
image upgrade and
software image
import through CLI.
Uses this protocol to connect to
the devices.
By default, Telnet is used to
connect to the devices.
If the SSH fails, there is no
fallback.
The device must support SSH for Software Management to use this
protocol.
Software Management uses command line interface to upgrade
software images and to import software images.
When you select the SSH protocol for the Software Management,
the underlying transport mechanism checks whether the device is
running SSHv2.
If so, it tries to connect to the device using SSHv2.
If the device does not run SSHv2 and runs only SSHv1 then it
connects to the device through SSHv1.
If the device runs both SSHv2 and SSHv1, then it connects to the
device using SSHv2.
If a problem occurs while connecting to the device using SSHv2,
then it does not fall back to SSHv1 for the device that is being
accessed.
See the Software Management Functional Supported Device tables
on Cisco.com for SSH and CLI device support information.

For Cisco IOS devices only.
Include images higher
than running image.
Includes the images that are
