Upgrading networking switch using CLI
1. Upgrade the master Networking I/O Module after all the members in the chassis-group are upgraded.
2. If the chassis-group has MX5108n and MX9116n, then upgrade the MX5108n Networking I/O Modules first (non-Master)
followed by upgrade of the MX9116n Networking I/O Modules.
