NOTE
For standalone devices or a homogeneous stack, the manifest upgrade process downloads the boot
image to the device only if a newer boot image version is available.
The manifest file specifies images for both router and switch types. Based on the device family and
the type of image (switch or router), the appropriate images are installed.
After all the relevant images have been installed on the device, you are prompted to reboot the
device to complete the upgrade process.
Example of a manifest file upgrade
