The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

This chapter contains the following sections:
You can upgrade a VXLAN gateway service module (standalone) from the VSM by using the kickstart and system image or the iso image.
Ensure the following:
The VXLAN gateway module is attached to the VSM.
The VXLAN gateway module is configured in the standalone mode. For information about configuring the standalone mode, see Configuring the VXLAN Gateway HA Mode as Standalone.
You can upgrade a VXLAN gateway high availability (HA) cluster from the VSM by using the kickstart and system image or the iso image. To ensure that at least one VXLAN gateway service module within a cluster is available to serve the data path traffic during an upgrade, the service modules within a cluster are upgraded in the following sequence:
The VXLAN gateway standby service module is upgraded.
After the VXLAN gateway standby module is upgraded and it is online, it forms the HA cluster with the VXLAN gateway active service module.
The VXLAN gateway active service module is upgraded so that the standby service module can serve the datapath traffic.
Note | If the standby service module fails to form HA in step 1, the active service module is still upgraded to maintain a uniform software version in the cluster. In such a case, the datapath traffic is impacted. |
Note | We recommend that you upgrade the VXLAN gateway service module after upgrading the VSM and before upgrading the VEM. This recommendation applies to upgrades to Release 5.2(1)SV3(1.1) only. |
Ensure the following:
The VXLAN gateway modules are attached to the VSM.
The VXLAN gateway modules are configured in the HA mode. For information about configuring the HA mode, see Configuring the VXLAN Gateway as an HA Pair.
On VXLAN gateway upgrade to 5.2(1)SV3(1.1) the VXLAN gateway uplink port (Ethx/2) & VXLAN gateway access/vEth port are down. Recover by doing a ‘no shutdown’ on the respective ports as shown below:
