1.Prime Infrastructure helps you create a Plug and Play Profile that allows any newly connected device to “call home” to the Prime Infrastructure server so that the device can be discovered, added to the inventory, and configured. This profile, also known as a Bootstrap Profile, places credentials on the device, eliminating the need to “console” into every device to setup before the device can be managed by Prime Infrastructure.

You can create Plug and Play profiles that contain:

• Software images only.
• Configurations only.
• Both software images and configurations.
• PKI certificates (For APIC-EM only.)

2. No Need of new license to upgrade.

3. The following steps explain how to upgrade from Prime Infrastructure 2.2.x to Prime Infrastructure 3.0.
