[frankawit8]

Hello I need a help,

How many hops of upgrade can my router ASR1002-X if I have software version "asr1002x-universal.03.10.02.S.153-3.S2-ext.SPA.bin". ? I want to have a latest version of my ASR1002-X.

As long as the ROMMON version is compatible, direct upgrade is possible. 

ROMMON upgrade and IOS-XE firmware upgrade can also be done in one reboot.
