Upload a device list to vManage to streamline the process of upgrading multiple devices at once.

  • This task helps you efficiently import device information and prepare for bulk upgrades.

Use this task when you need to upgrade several devices and want to manage them collectively in vManage.

Uploading a device list is useful for large-scale deployments or when onboarding new devices in bulk.

  • This process is relevant for administrators managing device upgrades through vManage.
