When you request an ISSU on a standalone device:
The management process (mgd) verifies that non-stop routing (NSR), graceful Routing

Engine switchover (GRES), and non-stop bridging (NSB) are enabled.
The router downloads and validates the software package.

The ISSU state machine spawns the backup Routing Engine (RE) with the newer

software.
The ISSU state machine checks to see if the backup RE has synchronized all of the
4.
data with the master RE.
The ISSU state machine moves the devices (for example, forwarding ASIC, FPGA,
5.
management port and serial console) from the master RE to the backup RE.
The mastership is switched between the REs, so the backup RE becomes the master

RE.
The old master RE is shut down.

You can use an in-service software upgrade to upgrade the software running on the router
with minimal traffic disruption during the upgrade.
NOTE: ISSU is supported in Junos OS Release 15.1X54–D60 and later on
ACX5000 Series routers.

Before you begin software installation using ISSU:
NOTE: Before you perform an in-service software upgrade, if applicable,
