ISSU Upgrade for Redundant Platforms
Purpose
(Optional) Use the following commands to confirm the
current router configuration, as follows:
•
show version and show version active-rp
installed—Verify the running version of the Cisco IOS
XE software on the router, and which file was used to
boot the router, and where that file is stored.
dir—Confirm that the files that were used to boot the
•
router are located in the directory.
show platform—Confirm the current status of the
•
active and standby RPs.
show redundancy states—Confirm the operational
•
and configured redundancy states.
After you have confirmed that the system states are
acceptable, save the current configuration to the startup
configuration.
Create a directory to store the consolidated package and
subpackages.
This directory must be created in most cases because the
consolidated packages and subpackages have to be
separated from the subpackages that booted the router at
this step of the procedure.
Specifies the Gigabit Ethernet TFTP source-interface to be
configured:
slot/port—Specifies the location of the TFTP
source-interface.
To copy a file using TFTP through the Management
Note
Ethernet interface, the ip tftp source-interface
GigabitEthernet 0 command must be entered
before entering the copy tftp command.
Copy the consolidated package file into the directory
created in
Step
3.
The consolidated package in this step should not be copied
into the same directory where the subpackages that are
currently running your router are stored (the directory
containing the packages.conf provisioning file from which
the router was booted).
It is recommended that you copy the package onto a
