Usage guidelines
The device supports these categories of ISSU methods: incremental upgrade, ISSU reboot, and reboot.
When you perform an ISSU, the device compares the compatibility between the old and new software
versions and selects an ISSU method based on the version compatibility. You can also use the install
activate command with the test keyword to check for the ISSU method to be used for the upgrade and
view the possible impact of the upgrade. For more information about ISSU methods and ISSU guidelines,
see Fundamentals Configuration Guide.
An image takes effect only after it is activated.
To keep an activated image active after a reboot, you must confirm the software change by using the
install commit command.
