Configuring Dynamic Software Upgrade
This section describes how to install and configure the dynamic software upgrade plugin in the ASR 5x00.
How to perform Dynamic Software Upgrade
The procedure for the dynamic software upgrade is as follows:
Step 1
Obtain the patch TAR file from your designated Cisco representative.
Step 2
Copy the patch file into the /flash directory of the ASR 5x00 chassis by the TFTP or FTP method.
patch plugin plugin_name filepath
For example:
[local]asr5k# patch plugin p2p /flash/libp2p-1.97.354.so.tgz
Step 3
After the file has been copied, install the plugin using the following
install plugin
command from the Exec mode.
install plugin plugin_name patch_file_name
For example:
[local]asr5k# install plugin p2p patch_libp2p-1.97.354.so.tgz
patch file patch_libp2p-1.97.354.so.tgz installed successfully
Important:
The plugin will be unpacked into /flash/patch/p2p directory. Ensure that there is enough
space in the /flash directory before installing a given patch. Verify if the file is installed correctly using the
dir /flash/patch/p2p/[patch_version_number.so]
command. For example:
dir
/flash/patch/p2p/libp2p-1.97.354.so
Step 4
After the patch has been successfully installed, the patch version must be configured before it can be loaded into the
system. To configure the patch before any other version of patch, first check the existing plugin configuration using the
following command. This command entered in the Exec mode is used to list the priorities on the configured patches.
