Configure Protocol Pack upgrades for devices in SD-WAN Manager by selecting target devices, choosing a release, and optionally scheduling or deferring installation until compatible software is available.
Before you begin
Install and enable Cisco SD-AVC on Cisco SD-WAN Manager before you upgrade device Protocol Packs. Cisco SD-AVC is required to use the Upgrade Device Protocol Pack feature. For more information, see Enabling SD-AVC on Cisco SD-WAN Manager in the Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN Getting Started Guide.
Procedure
-
From the Cisco SD-WAN Manager menu, choose and click Application Source Settings.
-
Locate the SD-WAN Manager Protocol Pack section of the page.
-
Select one or more devices in the table by checking the check boxes for the devices.
-
Click Upgrade Device Protocol Pack.
-
In the pop-up window, choose a Protocol Pack release to install. Optionally, choose a scheduled upgrade.
Note
If you schedule an upgrade for a later time, you cannot perform additional upgrades until that upgrade is complete. Only one upgrade task can be active at a given time. In a multitenant scenario, it is one upgrade task per tenant.
-
In case one or more selected devices have a software version that does not support the Protocol Pack, you can optionally select to upgrade the Protocol Pack later. Choose the Auto upgrade when device is compatible.
SD-WAN Manager saves the request to upgrade the Protocol Pack on those devices. SD-WAN Manager monitors the devices when they receive a software upgrade, and if the new software version supports the Protocol Pack, SD-WAN Manager completes the intended upgrade, installing the Protocol Pack.
Cisco SD-WAN Manager upgrades the Protocol Pack on the device if the device software version allows the upgrade.
