Note View Permission Report (Common Services > Server > Reports) to check if you have the required
privileges to perform this task.

The Software Repository Management dialog box appears.
Step 2 Select one of the following from the Filter by drop-down list:
• File Name

For example: If you have images with file names c3640-i-mz.112-24.P.bin,
c3640-i-mz.112-25.P.bin, cat5000-sup.5-5-18.bin, and cat5000-supg.6-4-10.bin.
If you select File Name as the Filter by option and enter the value as c3. The filter result displays only
c3640-i-mz.112-24.P.bin and c3640-i-mz.112-25.P.bin images.
Step 3 Click Filter.

Software Image Attributes
To ensure that Software Management is using the most current information about an image, you should
keep the image attributes up to date. Software Management uses image attribute information to:
• Recommend the appropriate image for a given device
When you distribute an image from the software repository to a device, Software Management uses
the image attributes to recommend an image.
• Notify you when a Flash memory or DRAM upgrade is required (upgrade analysis)
