How does SWIM work?

A. SWIM works the following ways: • When creating software upgrade jobs, SWIM reads information from Inventory in Essentials about the type of device, size of RAM, and Flash cards. • Based on the software on the device and other information that is read from Inventory, SWIM recommends a new image for the device from the library or from the library and CCO. SWIM then schedules a software upgrade job. • When the upgrade job runs, SWIM connects to the device using Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) or, for some devices, using Telnet. SWIM uses the appropriate Management Information Base (MIB) or Command-Line Interface (CLI) instrumentation provided by the device to upgrade the software. MIBs that manage differ among device classes and software versions.
