Upgrading to a New Software Version Example
Figure8 Software Error ProtectionUpgrading to a New Software Version
following command:
Release 12.0(22.3)S1 system image from a TFTP server to slot 0 on the active RSP:

Configuring High System Availability
In this scenario, we begin with the configuration shown inFigure 9.
Figure9 Software Error ProtectionBacking Up with an Older Software Version, Part I
Figure10 Software Error ProtectionBacking Up with an Older Software Version, Part II
Next,we copy the rsp-pv-mz.120-23.S image to the active and the standby RSPs, as shown in Figure 10.
Last,we delete the rsp-pv-mz.120-22.3.S1 image from the standby RSP4/4+ card, as shown in Figure 11:
Figure11 Software Error ProtectionBacking Up with an Older Software Version, Part III
Complete the following steps to configure software error protection for this sample scenario:
0 on the active and standby RSPs:

Verifying SSO
Note The output of these commands will vary based on your device configuration and system site
requirements.
Step1 Use the show redundancy command to verify that SSO is configured on the device.
Step2 Run the show redundancy states command to verify that SSO is operating on the device.
