Manage Images & Keys

There are features and functions used in Arista NetVisor UNUM and Insight Analytics that are common throughout the user interface (UI). Please refer to the Common Functions section for more information on the use of these functions and features.

Selecting Manager → Fabric → Manage Images & Keys displays the Manage Images & Keys dashboard.

Manage Images & Keys is used in conjunction with ZTP Switch and Upgrade Fabric.

The dashboard displays three buttons:

•Upload Upgrade Image

•Upload Installer

•Upload Activation Key 

And two details tabs:

•Software

•Activation Keys

Each shows a list of available Software and Keys available to your NetVisor UNUM instance. 

Uploading a NetVisor OS image or an ONIE or PXEBoot Installer and the associated Activation Keys to your NetVisor UNUM instance allows you to upgrade or downgrade a Fabric or provision a switch or DPU for use in a Fabric.

Note: Any entry preceded with two asterisks denotes a local file on the NetVisor UNUM instance.

The Software dashboard displays a list of existing entries by Name. Additional parameters include Version, MD5 Hash, SW PID, and Type.

The Activation Keys dashboard displays a list of existing entries by Name/Auth Code, SW PID, and Order Details. 

Information contained in these dashboards pulls from the associated License Cloud Server (LCS) account and the local NetVisor UNUM instance.

Entries marked with ** (double asterisk) indicate the file or activation key is a local file on the NetVisor UNUM instance.
