Device Packages
Cisco's routers and switches are referred to as network devices. Routers and switches must be physically installed in the appropriate chassis and connected to your network (using each specific device's hardware installation guide). A software update that enables Device Fault Manager to support new features for a particular device is called a device package.
Device Package Updates
Device Fault Manager provides support for a considerable range of devices by installing device packages. Additional device packages can be added to Device Fault Manager anytime after the initial product release or installation. When new device packages become available, they are placed on Cisco.com. Check http://www.cisco.com/pcgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/cw2000-dfm to ensure that you have the latest device release. You can add or update device packages using Software Center. Software Center is a component of Common Services.
For more information on using Software Center, see User Guide for Common Services 3.x.
