Extended Edge Switching Enhanced Automatic Image Upgrade

In previous versions of ExtremeXOS, for MLAG/redundant controlling bridges (CBs) topologies to use automatic image upgrading required rebooting both CBs simultaneously, causing a loss of network connectivity. This feature eliminates this problem, allowing you to reboot each CB sequentially during image upgrades providing in-service software upgrades (ISSU).
