[navin_rk3]

Hi,

   I'm planning to upgrade Nexus 5548UP (no L3 services) from 5.2(1)N1(6)  to 7.0(5)N1(1). Is this upgrade path vaild? or is there any intermediate version; also advise if ISSU is possible.

Regards,

Hi,

Yes you can upgrade directly from 5.2(1)N1(6) to 7.0(5)N1(1).  ISSU is possible, provided you meet the requirements.  You can copy the kickstart and system image to bootflash, then run the "show install all impact" command to see whether or not ISSU will be possible with your configuration.
