Installing device packages

Installing a device package from the GUI is very simple.

How to do it…

1. From the L4-L7 Services menu, click on Packages:

2. The Quick Start menu gives us one option: Import a Device Package.

 

 

3. Click on this link to bring up the file open dialog box:

4. Click on BROWSE... and select the zipped package file you want to import. Do not extract the files.

5. Click on SUBMIT. You will see another message briefly appear as the file is uploaded to the APIC.

How it works…

If we look at L4-L7 Service Device Types, we can see the newly added device package.

If we expand out the package, we can see a number of options; these should be familiar if you have looked through the package's XML file.

We won’t be going through these settings now, as we will look at A10 devices later in this chapter.

There's more...

Here is a link to a list of device packages (some require specific permissions to download, such as ASA):
