Procedure 3-7: Initialize and Upgrade with a new release

- 

This option starts the background activity on the NE to perform the actual switch over from the current release to the new release. This option returns a completion message to the user when the background activity is successfully started.

Note: Migration of all Hardware and Software is supported with a traffic hit of 5 minutes with an objective of 2 minutes.

In case of configuration using FX interface at slot 4, around 90 seconds of traffic hit occurs during warm reboot.

In case of configuration using LAG, around 1 second of traffic hit occurs during warm reboot.

In case configuration using R2O2E (Microwave card), 3 to 7 minutes of traffic hit occurs during warm reboot and in other configurations hitless warm restart occurs within 50 milli seconds.

The Initialize System tab displays the Initialize System panel that shows the Apply hyperlink that is used to start the new release downloading procedure.

Note: Note: If the IS-IS is provisioned using the following steps for all NEs, In Band Management over IS-IS will work well after upgrade:

  • Upgrade the Software

  • Enable PPPoE on the NNI1 for CPE2 via IBM3. Enable PPPoE on the NNI1 for CPE3 via IBM

    Note:When this step is complete all In Band Management traffic will be operationally down.

  • Ensure that the PC is connected to CPE1 out band interface, and the PC gateway is CPE1 out band IP.

  • Enable IS-IS protocol on the out band and NNI1 for CPE1, so that CPE2 can be managed with the in band IP.

  • Enable the IS-IS protocol on the NNI2 for CPE2, so that CPE3 can be managed with the in band IP

    • ACT-USER - Authenticates a session established with the system by logging in an existing user through a User Identifier and a Password Identifier

    • CANC-USER - Unauthenticates a session with the addressed NE (identified by optional TID parameter)., whether or not that session was previously authenticated by an ACT-USER command, by logging off the user

    • CANC-USER-SECU - Unauthenticates a session with the addressed NE (identified by optional TID parameter)., whether or not that session was previously authenticated by an ACT-USER command, by logging off the specified user

    • DLT-USER-SECU - Deletes user profiles in the User Security Database, for the specified User Identifier (UID)

    • ED-CMD-SECU - This is used by an user with security administrator privileges to change the command access security level (CAP - Command Access Privilege) assigned to a TL1 command

    • ED-USER-SECU - This is used by a user with security administrator privileges to edit the existing user profile entry, identified by the User Identifier (UID), in the User Security Database

    • ENT-USER-SECU - This is used to create a new user profile in the User Security Database

    • INH-USER-SECU - Allows a user with security administrator privileges to inhibit (i.e., disable) existing users (without deleting the user account), so the users can be denied to get an authorized session with the system (i.e., the inhibited users cannot log on).
