Explanation
To schedule an upgrade in Cisco SD-WAN, the administrator must define a maintenance window and associate it with the appropriate device group, select the software image and the desired time for the upgrade, and verify the health of the target devices. These steps ensure a seamless and automated upgrade process during the scheduled window while minimizing risks and downtime.
- A. Correct.
Defining a maintenance window and associating it with the appropriate device group ensures the upgrade is executed at the specified time without manual intervention.
- B. Incorrect.
The 'Upgrade Now' option initiates the upgrade immediately, bypassing the scheduling process, which contradicts the scenario requirement of scheduling the upgrade.
- C. Correct.
Selecting the software image and specifying the scheduled time are essential steps in scheduling the upgrade via the vManage GUI.
- D. Correct.
Verifying the health of the target devices ensures that the upgrade does not fail due to device-related issues, which is a best practice when scheduling upgrades.
- E. Incorrect.
Manually triggering the software upgrade during the maintenance window is unnecessary when the upgrade is properly scheduled in vManage.
