ISSU method
Description
Reboot
CAUTION:
The Reboot method disrupts service if hardware redundancy (MPU-, switching
fabric-, or device-level) is not available. As a best practice, schedule the downtime
carefully to minimize the upgrade impact on the services.
The Reboot method reboots MPUs to complete the software upgrade. While one
MPU is rebooting, the other MPUs can provide services.
