Re: ASR 1001-X UPGRADE via CLI OR GUI

MatteoBolognino6613 · ‎01-17-2022

Hi,

is there someone that can help me to upgrade my ASR 1001-X via GUI? For being more specific I have a problem when a path is requested, if I have my .bin file in my PC's downloads folder, which path do I have to insert?

I tried to follow this guide via CLI https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/routers/asr1000/configuration/guide/chassis/asrswcfg/issu.html

but the TFTP transfer isn't functioning properly.

Thank you in advance.

Matteo

Hi

It depends. Which Operating system are you using? If you are using Windows, download should be something like:

C:\Users\You-user\Downloads

Hi,

at the moment I uploaded the target release on a Nexus 9K directly attached to the router, the current release is the 16.6.4.

This is my current config for the ASR side:

Do you have the tftp server software installed and running on your PC? If so can you set its default directory to be your downloads folder?

MatteoBolognino6613 · ‎01-17-2022

Yes but instead of using my PC, I want to use the N9K that is directly attached to the ASR for uploading the target release, for doing this I suppose to use SCP but for the moment it isn't functioning. In the previous answer, I pasted the current configurations both for N9K both ASR

MatteoBolognino6613 · ‎01-18-2022

Sorry Leo but at the moment my problem is to copy the bin file into the ASR, I have a Nexus 9K (with the ASR target release onboard) directly connected with the ASR 1001-X, trying to do the copy via SCP it isn't functioning, it displays an undefined error when trying to retrieve the release from the Nexus.

Check the configurations posted in the previous answer if you want to help me.

Thanks in advance

Matteo

The file could be uploaded to the router using the on-board USB port.

MatteoBolognino6613 · ‎01-18-2022

Do you have the detailed procedure to copy the image from USB to the ASR and to proceed with the upgrade?

Thanks in advance

Please refer to my previous response (LINK).

MatteoBolognino6613 · ‎01-19-2022

It seems that the router is not able to read what is contained into the usb:

copy usb0: bootflash:asr1001x-universalk9.17.03.04a.SPA.bin
Source filename []? asr1001x-universalk9.17.03.04a.SPA.bin
Destination filename [asr1001x-universalk9.17.03.04a.SPA.bin]?
%Error opening usb0:asr1001x-universalk9.17.03.04a.SPA.bin (No such file or directory)

Do you have any suggestions?

Post the complete output to the command "dir usb0:".
