Prerequisites

The configuration examples in this document were created and verified in a lab environment, and all the devices were started with the factory default configuration. When you are working on a live network, make sure you understand the potential impact of every command on your network.

This document assumes that you have basic knowledge of ISSU.

General restrictions and guidelines

Before performing an ISSU, you must complete the following preparation tasks:

· Read the software release notes to identify support of the device for ISSU.

· Use the display device command to verify that no member devices are in Fault state.

· Use the dir command to verify that the device has sufficient storage space for the upgrade images. If the storage space is not sufficient, delete unused files.

· For service continuity during an ISSU, verify that the following feature settings are configured:

Feature	Setting requirements
GR/NSR	Enable GR or NSR for protocols including LDP, RSVP, OSPF, ISIS, BGP, and FSPF.
BFD	Disable BFD for protocols including LDP, RSVP, OSPF, ISIS, RIP, BGP, VRRP, and NQA.
Ethernet link aggregation	Use the long LACP timeout interval (the lacp period short command is not configured) on all member ports in dynamic aggregation groups.
IRF	Configure IRF bridge MAC persistence as follows: · Compatible upgrade—Configure the irf mac-address persistent timer or irf mac-address persistent always command. · Incompatible upgrade ¡ Configure the irf mac-address persistent always command if the bridge MAC address is the MAC address of the device for which you want to execute the issu load command. ¡ Disable IRF MAD before the ISSU and enable IRF MAD again after the ISSU.

· Log in to the device through the console port. If you use Telnet or SSH, you might be disconnected from the device before the ISSU is completed.

During an ISSU, use the following guidelines:

· In a multiuser environment, make sure no other administrators access the device while you are performing the ISSU.

· Do not perform any of the following tasks during an ISSU:

¡ Reboot, add, or remove member device.

¡ Execute commands that are not for ISSU.

¡ Modify, delete, or rename image files.

The following describes restrictions and guidelines for an ISSU.

Hardware requirements

· Log in to the device through the console port. If you use Telnet or SSH, you might be disconnected from the device before the ISSU is completed.

· Do not perform an ISSU during hardware upgrade or failure. Otherwise, upgrade failure or system exceptions might occur.

Upgrade restrictions

· Use the display device command to verify that no member devices are in Fault state.

· Use the dir command to verify that the device has sufficient storage space for the upgrade images. If the storage space is not sufficient, delete unused files by using the delete command.

Feature restrictions

For service continuity during ISSU, configure the following feature settings:

Feature	Setting requirements
GR or NSR	Enable GR or NSR for protocols including LDP, RSVP, OSPF, ISIS, BGP, and FSPF.
BFD	Disable BFD for protocols including LDP, RSVP, OSPF, ISIS, RIP, BGP, VRRP, and NQA.
Ethernet link aggregation	Use the long LACP timeout interval (the lacp period short command is not configured) on all member ports in dynamic aggregation groups.
IRF	Configure IRF bridge MAC persistence as follows: · Compatible upgrade—Configure the irf mac-address persistent timer or irf mac-address persistent always command. · Incompatible upgrade—Configure the irf mac-address persistent always command if the bridge MAC address is the MAC address of the device for which you want to execute the issu load command.

Operation restrictions

· In a multiuser environment, make sure no other administrators access the device while you are performing the ISSU.

· Do not perform any of the following tasks during an ISSU:

¡ Reboot, add, or remove member device.

¡ Execute commands that are irrelevant to the ISSU.

¡ Modify, delete, or rename image files.

Example: Performing a compatible ISSU

Network configuration

As shown in Figure 1, the two-chassis IRF fabric and the TFTP server can reach each other. Perform a compatible ISSU on the IRF to upgrade startup images from T0001015 to T0001016.

Restrictions and guidelines

When you perform the compatible ISSU, follow these restrictions and guidelines:

· The available storage space on each member device must be at least two times the size of the new image.

· Do not execute commands that are irrelevant to the ISSU.

· The automatic rollback timer starts after you execute the issu run switchover command. If no exceptions occur, execute the issu accept or issu commit command to complete the upgrade before this timer expires. If an exception occurs, manually roll back or wait for the system to automatically roll back to the original software images, and then perform a new upgrade.

· After you execute the issu accept or issu commit command, the system automatically deletes the rollback timer.

Procedures

# Download the new image file T0001016.ipe from the TFTP server to the root directory of a file system on the master. The .ipe file includes the boot-t0001016.bin image file and the system-t0001016.bin image file.
