Why is the Cisco.com filter option on the Software Management Edit Preferences screen not provided for Catalyst or Cisco 700 Series images?
A. During the Distribute Images task, Software Management communicates with Cisco.com to obtain a list of applicable images and their attributes. Based on this information, Software Management recommends an image. There are many Cisco IOS images available on Cisco.com, which can cause a substantial delay in retrieving image attributes from Cisco.com. Some of these images will not be relevant to the user. Software Management filters the amount of images being considered to make a more meaningful and manageable subset. For Catalyst and 700 devices, fewer images are available on Cisco.com than for Cisco IOS; therefore, it is not necessary to filter the images.
