The ISSU process has completed. At this stage, any further Cisco IOS XE software version upgrade or
downgrade will require that a new ISSU process be invoked.

Using changeversion to Automate an ISSU Upgrade

This task describes how to use the issu changeversion command to perform a one step ISSU upgrade.

Image Version = Cisco IOS Software, IOS-XE Software, Catalyst 4500 L3
Configuration register = 0x2920
ISSU State = Init
Operating Mode = Stateful Switchover
Current Image = bootflash:new_image
Pre-ISSU (Original) Image = N/A
Post-ISSU (Targeted) Image = N/A
ISSU State = Init
Operating Mode = Stateful Switchover
Current Image = bootflash:new_image
Pre-ISSU (Original) Image = N/A
Post-ISSU (Targeted) Image = N/A
Ensure that the new version of Cisco IOS XE software image is already present in the file system of
both the active and standby supervisor engines. Also ensure that appropriate boot parameters
(BOOT string and config-register) are set for the active and standby supervisor engines
Optionally, perform additional tests and commands to determine the current state of peers and
interfaces for later comparison.
Ensure the system (both active and standby supervisor engines) is in SSO redundancy mode. If the
system is in RPR mode, you can still upgrade the system using the ISSU CLI commands, but the
system will experience extended packet loss during the upgrade.'
Refer to the Stateful Switchover document for more details on how to configure SSO mode on
supervisor engines (refer to
and SSO on Supervisor Engine 6-E and Supervisor Engine
For ISSU to function, the IOS XE software image file names on the active and standby supervisor
engines must match.
