Working With Software Center

Software Center helps you to check for software and device support updates, download them to their server file system along with the related dependent packages, and install the device updates.

Software Center allows you to look for software and device updates from Cisco.com, and download them to a server location. You can install the updates from this location. In the case of device updates, Software Center helps you to install the updates using a web based user interface, and command line interface, wherever possible.

Software Center helps in:

•Performing Software Updates

•Performing Device Update

•Scheduling Device Package Downloads

•Viewing Activity Logs

You can perform some of the Software Center tasks using a command line utility.

For details, see Using the Software Center CLI Utility.

Most of the device family-based packages can be installed directly from the web interface while the device support packages such as IDU have to be installed based on the installation instructions in the respective Readme files.

You may also uninstall a device support package. Software Center does not support installation and uninstallation of software updates.

To backup what is installed on the server, Software Center maintains a package and device map in the installed packages directory of the respective applications. The package map is a list of all device packages installed on the server and device map is a list of all the supported devices on the server.

Software Center also provides a Command Line Interface to download device updates and software updates, and install or uninstall device packages.

For downloads from Cisco.com to work, you should have access to Cisco.com. For details on configuring Cisco.com credentials, See Setting up Cisco.com User Account.
