Pre-positioning a Software File
A software file is pre-positioned in the same manner as any other content item. Pre-positioning allows
you to conserve bandwidth usage across the WAN and avoid congesting your network during updates.
The software file is fetched one time from the origin server, replicated across your network, and stored
in Service Engine caches in your LAN.
To pre-position a software file, you must complete the following tasks:
• Define a delivery service.
• Assign devices to the delivery service.
• Define the software file that you want to pre-position by using a Manifest file or the CDSM delivery
service content page.
• Check the device replication status.
See Chapter 5, “Configuring Services” for more information.
Note Only Service Engines that are assigned to the delivery service can be updated using pre-positioned
software files. Service Routers and CDSMs do not have pre-positioned content; therefore, you cannot
use the pre-positioned method for device updates for these devices.
Sample Manifest File to Pre-position a Software File
You can use the following sample Manifest file to pre-position a software file by replacing the URL with
a valid software file URL:
<CdnManifest>
<item src="http://your-web-server.com/folder/upgrade.bin" />
</CdnManifest>
