Managing Feature Suites

With the Cisco Provider Connectivity Assurance Sensor Control, you can manage a number of distinct feature suites to be applied as needed to the remote devices under its control. Use this page to import and delete feature suites.

When remote devices are connected in a daisy chain topology and added to the Sensor Control, the feature suite update process should be launched individually on each remote device in the chain (hop-by-hop), as opposed to updating all remote devices in the chain simultaneously. When a remote device has finished its update and changed its state to Completed, the next remote device in the daisy chain is ready to begin its update process. This approach ensures that no remote devices lose their connection to the Sensor Control while a remote device in the chain with a lower hop count restarts to apply the new feature suite.
