The following table maps the release number to the Reports as: field and specifies whether or not
a pre-upgrade update is required.
Pre-Upgrade Tasks — If the S8300 is the Primary Controller
Skip to Upgrade the S8300 on page 227, if the S8300 is configured as an LSP.
CAUTION:
If you are upgrading an S8300 primary controller that has LSPs registered to it, the LSPs
must be upgraded before the primary controller. (You can use the SAT command, list
media-gateway, to see if there are LSPs registered to the S8300.)
Perform the following procedures if you are upgrading an S8300 that is configured as a primary
controller.
NOTE:
It is no longer necessary to disable Terminal Translation Initialization (TTI) before an
upgrade or to enable it after an upgrade.
