Configuring Interfaces on the PRP

Step 5 Insert the PRP-3 into the Cisco XR 12000 Series Router chassis.

Step 6 Turboboot the PRP-3 as indicated in section Turboboot Approach, page 39.

Step 7 After PRP-3 finishes loading Cisco IOS XR Software image, load the converted Cisco IOS XR Software

configuration.

Step 8 Verify that all configurations are properly configured on PRP-3 and if the traffic has resumed.

Pre-Staging Approach

To upgrade PRP-1 or PRP-2 with Cisco IOS Software to PRP-3 execute the following steps:

Step 1 Save the Cisco IOS software configuration to a local computer.

Step 2 Convert the Cisco IOS software configuration to Cisco IOS XR software configuration using the web

tool http://sox.ecsforge.cisco.com/twiki/prod/bin/view/Sox/SoxTryOut

Step 3 Double check the converted Cisco IOS XR software configuration and any missing configurations.

Modify the interface configuration to be pre-configured.

Step 4 Insert PRP-3 into a standalone Cisco XR 12000 Series Router chassis.

Step 5 Turboboot PRP-3 as indicated in section Turboboot Approach, page 39.

Step 6 Load the converted Cisco IOS XR software pre-configuration on PRP-3.

Step 7 Remove the PRP-2 from the working chassis and insert the PRP-3.

Step 8 PRP-3 loads the Cisco IOS XR software image, recognizes LCs in the chassis, and loads the

pre-configuration.

Step 9 Verify that all configurations are properly configured on PRP-3 and the traffic has been resumed.
