About the Cisco Software Upgrade Utility
The Cisco Software Upgrade Utility is an interactive GUI interface that enables you to upgrade Cisco software installed on Cisco devices.
The Cisco Software Upgrade Utility enables you to select files to be uploaded via a network or modem connection to the Cisco device. You can select either to perform a typical upgrade which includes all the new files or a customized upgrade which enables you to select which files to upload.
The upgrade files are uploaded and then burned into the memory of the Cisco device.
Note Cisco devices automatically save configuration settings before a software upgrade takes place. However, it is recommended that you save all configuration information using the Export button in the Cisco device web interface toolbar. You can retrieve all these settings after the software upgrade is complete by using the Import button in the Cisco device web interface toolbar.
