Prepare to Upgrade the SLX-OS TPVM Package

About this task

Perform the following tasks so that in the unlikely event of a failure or timeout, you can provide your router support provider the information needed to troubleshoot the problem.

Procedure

  1. Ensure that all production traffic is detoured from the device that is undergoing the upgrade.
  2. Verify network connectivity, which will allow the scp or ftp command to complete the FWD download of the software image to the device.
    # ping <server_address>  vrf [mgmt-vrf|default-vrf|<vrf_name>]
  3. Ensure that the console you use to perform the upgrade has access to the device.
  4. Save the startup-config file to a remote server.
    # copy running-config tftp://@<server_address>/<filename> use-vrf [mgmt-vrf|default-vrf|<vrf_name>]
