Upgrading Software on Redundant NRP-1s

This section describes how to upgrade software on redundant NRP-1s. To upgrade software on a

nonredundant NRP-1, see the “Upgrading Software on Nonredundant NRP-1s” section on pageB-2.

To upgrade the software images on redundant NRP-1s, perform the following tasks in the specified

order. Each task in the list identifies the device used to perform the task:

1. Upgrade the Images on the Secondary NRP-1 (primary NRP-1)

2. Identify the New System Image as the Startup Image for the Secondary NRP-1 (primary NRP-1)

3. Reload the Secondary NRP-1 (NSP)

4. Upgrade the Images on the Primary NRP-1 (primary NRP-1)

5. Identify the New System Image as the Startup Image for the Primary NRP-1 (primary NRP-1)

6. Switch the Primary and Secondary NRP-1s (NSP)

In the following instructions and examples, NRPslot5 is the device in slot 5 of the Cisco 6400 chassis,

and NRP slot6 is the device in slot 6.

Upgrade the Images on the Secondary NRP-1

Complete the following steps from the primary NRP-1 to upgrade the secondary NRP-1 images.

NRPslot5 is currently the primary device, and NRPslot6 is currently the secondary device.

Step 1 Use the dir EXEC command to locate and identify the system and boothelper images you will replace

on the secondary NRP-1.

NRPslot5# dir sec-flash:

NRPslot5# dir sec-bootflash:

Step 2 Use the copy EXEC command to back up the secondary NRP-1’s system and boothelper images to a

TFTP server.

NRPslot5# copy sec-flash:c6400r-g4p5-mz.120-7.DC tftp://10.1.1.1/c6400r-g4p5-mz.120-7.DC

NRPslot5# copy sec-bootflash:c6400r-boot-mz.120-7.DC

tftp://10.1.1.1/c6400r-boot-mz.120-7.DC

Step 3 Use the delete EXEC command to mark the secondary NRP-1’s old images for deletion.

NRPslot5# delete sec-flash:c6400r-g4p5-mz.120-7.DC

NRPslot5# delete sec-bootflash:c6400r-boot-mz.120-7.DC

Step 4 Use the squeeze EXEC command to permanently delete the secondary NRP-1’s images marked for

deletion.

NRPslot5# squeeze sec-flash:

NRPslot5# squeeze sec-bootflash:

Step 5 Use the copy EXEC command to load the new images to the secondary NRP-1.

NRPslot5#copy tftp://10.1.1.1/c6400r-g4p5-mz.122-13.T sec-flash:c6400r-g4p5-mz.122-13.T

NRPslot5#copy tftp://10.1.1.1/c6400r-boot-mz.122-13.T

sec-bootflash:c6400r-boot-mz.122-13.T
