Information About ISSU-MTR

ISSU--MTR

All protocols and applications that support MTR and that also support In Service Software Upgrade (ISSU) have extended their ISSU support to include the MTR functionality. See the Cisco IOS In Service Software Upgrade Process module in the Cisco IOS High Availability Configuration Guide for information on ISSU-capable protocols and applications.

ISSU allows a high-availability (HA) system to run in Stateful Switchover (SSO) mode even when different versions of Cisco IOS software are running on the active and standby Route Processors (RPs). This feature allows the system to switch over to a secondary RP that is running upgraded (or downgraded) software and to continue forwarding packets without session loss and with minimal or no packet loss.

This feature is enabled by default.
