Upgrade methods

Upgrading method
Upgrading from the CLI:
Upgrading software through a

This chapter only covers upgrading software from the CLI without using ISSU.

Non-ISSU upgrade procedure summary

To upgrade software from the CLI without using ISSU:
1. Download the upgrade software image file.
2. (Optional.) Preload the Boot ROM image to the Boot ROM.
If a Boot ROM upgrade is required, you can perform this task to shorten the subsequent upgrade
time. This task helps avoid upgrade problems caused by unexpected electricity failure.

Remarks
This method is disruptive. You must reboot the
entire device to complete the upgrade.
Use this method when the device cannot start up
correctly.
Upgrade an IRF fabric from the CLI rather than the
Boot menu.
The Boot menu method increases the service
downtime, because it requires that you upgrade
the member devices one by one.
