Cisco Cisco Prime Network 3.8 Notas de publicación

Whenever a boot configuration file is backed up to the archive, Prime Network always overwrites 
the existing boot configuration in the archive.

Prime Network allows restoring of running configuration only in ‘merge’ mode, by which if the 
running configuration version you selected is different from the existing running configuration on 
the device, then the existing running configuration will be merged with the configuration present in 
the version you selected from the archive.

You can view the latest changes to the device configuration using the Configuration Change Logs 
page. However, Prime Network does not display the following information for Cisco ASR 5000 
series devices:

Changed—Date and time when a change was made to the device.

User—Name of the user who made the change.

In the Image Repository page, Prime Network displays only the Family and Size fields for 
Cisco ASR 5000 series devices. All other fields are displayed as UNKNOWN or N/A.

For Cisco ASR 5000 series devices, you can activate a boot configuration file on the device in 
addition to an image. However, if a device is activated with a new configuration, which does not have 
the correct user credentials, a timeout error occurs during activation.

In the activation workflow (by Images or Devices) and in the distribution and activation workflow 
(by Images or Devices), after selecting the device and required image(s), you must enter the boot 
configuration file in the Enter Boot Config page. The boot configuration value should always be 
passed as flash:/asr.cfg.

For Cisco ASR 5000 series devices, Change and Configuration Management supports FTP mode for 
all configuration and image transfers. FTP username and password configuration in the device 
should be same as the device management username and password.

The following features or functions are NOT supported for Cisco ASR 5000 series devices:

Clear Flash—Allows clearing the disk space on the storage location for distributing the image 
or package if there is insufficient memory.

Warm Upgrade—Provides the capability for a Cisco IOS image to read and decompress another 
Cisco IOS image and then transfer control to this new image.

Importing images from Cisco.com—Allows you to download images from Cisco.com and add 
them to the Prime Network image repository.

The following enhancements or changes have been made in Change and Configuration Management for 
the Cisco ASR 903 device in Prime Network 3.8.1:

Prime Network allows restoring of running configuration only in ‘merge’ mode, by which if the 
running configuration version you selected is different from the existing running configuration on 
the device, then the existing running configuration will be merged with the configuration present in 
the version you selected from the archive.

In the Image Repository page, Prime Network displays only the Family and Size fields for a 
Cisco ASR 903 device. All other fields are displayed as UNKNOWN or N/A.

The Warm Upgrade feature, which provides the capability for a Cisco IOS image to read and 
decompress another Cisco IOS image and then transfer control to this new image, is not supported 
for a Cisco ASR 903 device.
