Selecting and Ordering Protocol Order
In the View/Edit Preferences dialog box (Admin > Software Mgmt > View/Edit Preferences) you can
define the protocol order that Software Management has to use for software image download.
Software Management tries to download the software images based on the specified protocol order.
While downloading the images, Software Management uses the first protocol in the list. If the first
protocol in the list fails, these jobs use the second protocol and so on, until Software Management finds
a transport protocol for downloading the images.
To Enable the Protocols:
Step 1 Select a protocol from the Available Protocols pane.
Include same image
feature subset as
running image.
Include only images that have
the same feature subset as the
current image.
For example, if you want IOS
images with the ENTERPRISE
IPSEC feature, the
recommended images contain
the latest version. This version
contains feature subset that fits
the Flash.
For Cisco IOS devices only.
