How does SWIM come up with the default system software image and Flash recommendation for Cisco IOS devices?
A. SWIM’s System Software Recommendation compares target device information with image attributes and requirements. Image attributes include the size of the image, its subset feature, and the minimum DRAM and BOOT ROM requirements. You can input the attributes when you import the images into the library. You can later edit the attributes by using the Browse Library function. The following steps explain the passes SWIM performs before making an image recommendation: • SWIM reads and stores all images in a list that belong to the same family as the device selected for upgrade. SWIM queries the local software library as well CCO. • SWIM checks for minimum requirements. Using the image list from Step 1, SWIM removes the following: • Images that require more DRAM than the device has. • Images that require a later version of BOOT ROM than the device has. • Images that have file sizes larger than the size of Flash partitions on the device. • Images that have the same version number and featur
