When you issue the request system software in-service-upgrade command without any options, the system upgrades and reboots the new master Routing Engine to the newer software. The new software is placed on the new backup (old master) Routing Engine; however, to complete the upgrade, you must issue the request system reboot command on the new backup Routing Engine.
To perform a unified ISSU using the request system software in-service-upgrade package-name command without any options, complete the following steps:
