Upgrading to CiscoIOS Release 12.2(28)SB on a Cisco 10000 Series Router
OL-8833-01
Upgrade Option 1: ESR-PRE1 Upgrade with Cold Start
To perform the upgrade, follow these steps:
Step1 On the active ESR-PRE1, issue the write memory command to make sure the startup configuration is
up to date.
Step2 Copy the saved startup configuration to a TFTP server and edit the configuration to reflect the new
capabilities of the 12.2(28)SB software. At a minimum, you must edit the boot system variable to point
to the new image, using the boot system bootflash:image_name command and specifying your chosen
image name.
Step3 Remove both ESR-PRE1s, and install one ESR-PRE2 in one open slot. Make sure you have direct
console access to the ESR-PRE2.
Step4 The boot image should load itself from bootflash (the expected behavior). If the ESR-PRE2 comes up in
ROM monitor, type boot to load the boot image.
Step5 Configure the network management interface (typically FastEthernet 0/0/0) and the gateway IP address
the same as they were on the removed ESR-PRE1s to enable communications with the TFTP server.
Step6 Copy the edited startup configuration from the TFTP server to your startup configuration using the copy
tftp startup command.
Step7 Copy the 12.2(28)SB image from the TFTP server to bootflash, being sure to use the same name for the
image that you specified in Step2 for the boot system variable in the startup configuration.
Step8 Enter the reload command and type no when asked if you want to save your running configuration.
If the ESR-PRE2 config-register is set to 0x2, this command will autoboot the new image.
If the ESR-PRE2 config-register is set to 0x0, it will come up in ROM monitor. Boot the new image from
ROM monitor using the boot bootflash:image_name command.
Step9 After the ESR-PRE2 is up and running the new image, verify that the Cisco IOS version, configuration,
boot variable, and traffic are as expected.
Step10 Shut down the FastEthernet 0/0/0 interface on the first ESR-PRE2 using the shut command. Then insert
the second ESR-PRE2 and repeat Step 4 through Step 8 for the second ESR-PRE2. After the second
ESR-PRE2 has booted, use the no shut command on the active ESR-PRE2 to activate the FastEthernet
0/0/0 interface again.
Now the system should be operating as a dual-PRE redundant 12.2(28)SB system in the configured mode
(either SSO or RPR+), running the properly modified startup configuration. You can verify the
redundancy status using the show redundancy or show redundancy state command.
Step11 Enter the write memory command from the active console to bring the startup configuration up to date
on the active and standby ESR-PRE2s.
Rollback Procedure for Option 1
To roll back to the ESR-PRE1 configuration:
Step1 Remove both ESR-PRE2s and reinstall the ESR-PRE1s.
The ESR- PRE1s should operate as they did in the original setup.
