Image Management Settings 
There aren’t any mandatory settings required for software image management, but a number of knobs can be 
accessed from Administration > System Settings > Image Management as shown in figure (below). These 
include the team shared Cisco.com username/password, job failure handling options, image and configuration 
protocol options, and so on. Users are strongly recommended to glance through this page and set it up initially so 
that preferred preferences are applied when distributing images on managed devices. Images can easily be added 
to the local repository by choosing Operate > Software Image Management > Import. Follow the wizard to import 
images from Cisco.com directly. Images can be deployed to devices by going to Operate > Software Image 
Management. Select the image from the list (once it has been added to the repository) and click Distribute 
Images. Once the devices are selected to be upgraded/downgraded, a prerun status is shown, which avoids the 
job failure in the first place. You can also run Upgrade Analysis from the same place to get a report on this.
