Upgrade a device protocol pack

Want to summarize with AI?

Log in

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

1.

From the Cisco SD-WAN Manager menu, choose Configuration > Application Catalog and click Application Source Settings.

2.

Locate the SD-WAN Manager Protocol Pack section of the page.

3.

Select one or more devices in the table by checking the check boxes for the devices.

4.

Click Upgrade Device Protocol Pack.

5.

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.

6.

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.
