Hello,
we are just in the rollout process of ASR-1002X routers. No specific or enhanced function is configured on those devices.
However, I´ve recognized, that the "reload" of such a routers brings some issues, such as:
1) after entering the reload command (this was for activating a new firmware) the router was not reachable anymore (neither via ssh nor on local
console) and the router did not perform a reload. However, it was still pingable and performing its routing functions. So I need to send sb out to
power cycle the router.
After power cycling the router comes back with the new firmware without configuration changes.
2) after entering the reload command (again for activating a new firmware) the router reloaded and came back into rommon. After power cycling
the router it came up with the new firmware without configuration changes.
This happened on several sites with different devices and different firmware levels (XE 3.16.2S, 3.16.2bS and 3.16.3S).
The described firmware upgrade I performed always in a similar way: (copy new firmware to bootflash, performed md5 check, set boot variable and reload). Any hint or comment is appreciated...
Thx and regards
Alfred
