    hostname > enable
    hostname # configure terminal
  2. Download the guest images:

    hostname (config) # fenet dti cache populate guest-images all
  3. Confirm that the operation succeeded:

    hostname (config) # show fenet dti cache populate guest-images status
To download guest images for a specific appliance:
  1. Go to CLI configuration mode:

  2. Download the guest images:

    hostname (config) # fenet dti cache populate guest-images appliance <applianceName>

    where <applianceName> is the hostname of the appliance. Use the fenet dti cache populate guest-images appliance ? command to list the hostnames.
