Configuring the Rollback Timer to Safeguard Against Upgrade Issues
Cisco IOS XE software maintains an ISSU rollback timer, to safeguard against an upgrade that may leave
the new active supervisor engine in a state in which communication with the standby supervisor engine
is severed.
You may want to configure the rollback timer to fewer than 45 minutes (the default) so that the user need
not wait in case the new software is not committed or the connection to the switch was lost while it was
in runversion mode. A user may want to configure the rollback timer to more than 45 minutes in order
to have enough time to verify the operation of the new Cisco IOS XE software before committing the
new software image.
Note
The valid timer value range is from 0 to 7200 seconds (two hours). A value of 0 seconds disables the
rollback timer.
Once you are satisfied that the new image at the active supervisor engine has been successful and you
want to remain in the current state, you may indicate acceptance by issuing the
issu acceptversion
command, which stops the rollback timer.
Issuing the
issu commitversion
command at this stage is equal to entering both the
issu acceptversion
and the
issu commitversion
commands. Use the
issu commitversion
command if you do not intend to
run in the current state for a period of time and are satisfied with the new software version.
Note
The rollback timer can be configured only in the ISSU Init state.
This task explains how to configure the rollback timer:
