Other Devices
The following table summarizes how other network devices see two ASR 5000s chassis during online upgrade. The
table below assumes that a SRP-activated loopback address is configured in the source (toward the MS), the destination
(toward the HA), and the AAA contexts (Diameter and RADIUS).

The MS sees two PDIFs as the same entity. However, upon switchover the SCTP connection is disconnected and
then a new SCTP connection with ASR 5000 is established immediately.If an L3 switch exists between the PDIF
and Diameter server, it sees two chassis as a single entity. Only the physical port in the switch changes due to the
switchover operation by IPv6 Unsolicited Neighbor Advertisement. The rest of the ASR 5000 information (IP
address and MAC address) remains the same.
