Automating Cisco IOS Software Upgrades with Itential

With the Itential Network Automation Platform, network teams can cut time spent on Cisco IOS software updates. By leveraging Itential’s automation, tasks can be quickly executed for pre-checks, deploying the necessary software upgrades, and completing the post-check. This severely reduces the time it takes to execute a software upgrade on a Cisco IOS device and ensures that network devices are consistently up to date and configured properly.

In this demo, get a firsthand look at:

  • An overview of the command templates and user forms used to execute the software upgrade.
  • How to run the end-to-end automation.
  • A view of each step of the automation and how it works.
  • A pre/post check comparison of the software upgrade on a Cisco IOS router.
