Outlines the procedures for upgrading and downgrading Cisco APIC and switch software using REST API calls. It details the end-to-end process, including image repository management, firmware policy configuration, pre-validation checks, and status monitoring.
You can upgrade the software using the REST API.
Upgrade or downgrade the Cisco APIC software using the REST API
Manages Cisco APIC software versions by executing REST API commands to download images and trigger controller firmware updates. This procedure ensures the fabric controllers transition to the specified software release.
Upgrade or downgrade switch software using the REST API
Upgrades or downgrades switch software by configuring firmware and maintenance policies through the REST API. This process involves downloading images, defining node groups, and triggering the update process.
Upgrade or downgrade the catalog software version using the REST API
Upgrades or downgrades the catalog image using the REST API. This procedure is typically performed when the Cisco APIC image is updated.
Verify the firmware version and the upgrade status using the API
Describes the API methods for retrieving current firmware versions on controllers and switches, as well as the status of upgrade jobs. This information assists administrators in monitoring system maintenance tasks.
