upgrading csr1000v

[jimmy10]

Hi,

I need to upgrade a

CSR1000v from 16.06.02

Can I go straight to the latest

Amsterdam-17.3.7

?

or will there be steps in-between?

TIA

Hi @jimmy10 

It seems you need to be in 16.9 minimum.

Hi Flavio,

Would it be safe to stay with the 16 track and upgrade to

16.12.x

and leave it there? 

Or do I need to go to

17.x.x

?

[Flavio Miranda]

Yes, I would recommend go to

16.12

first and then to

17.X

Hi Flavio,

Where do I get

16.12.x

from? I cant find it in software.cisco.com?

If it is discontinued, will I have to build a new instance with

17.x.x

?
