IOS XR本來是為CRS-1設計的，現在已經可以用在GSR上，日後亦將會擴其它平臺，這應得益於買下BCN Systems。
這裡講一下如何昇級GSR的的IOS為IOS XR。
昇級過程的參考文檔見這裡：
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/products/ps5763/products_upgrade_guides_chapter09186a00803e85ff.html
- IOS XR的命令配置與IOS有不改變，比如接口基本配置部分：
具體文檔見：Cisco IOSCisco IOS XRinterface POS2/1 ip address 192.168.14.5 255.255.255.0 no ip directed-broadcast crc 32 clock source internal pos ais-shut pos scramble-atm end

- 昇級准備步驟：
- 備份原有配置及IOS等，這個不用多說了；
- 加載c12kprp-boot-mz.120-30.S3或更高版本的boot IOS，並用之引導GSR；
- 檢查硬件配置是否符合昇級要求，包括內存容量、rommon版本、及DISK空間等，昇級所有板卡的rommon （最低版本要求是1.15）
. show diags | i SLOT| Memory
. dir disk0:
. show diags | inc SLOT | ROM Monitor
. upgrade rom-monitor slot rp_slot force - 重啟GSR，進入rommon（修改config-register 為0x0）
- Diskboot to Cisco IOS XR Software，還是看下面這個表格算了： Command or ActionPurpose
Step 1
configure termninal
Example:Router(boot)# configure terminal
Enters configuration mode.
Step 2
config-register 0x0
Example:Router(boot) (config)# conf-register 0x0
Changes the configuration register boot field settings.
Setting the value to 0x0 requires a manual reboot of the operating system using the boot command.
Step 3
^Z
Example:Router(boot) (config)# ^Z
Exits configuration mode.
Step 4
reload
Example:Router(boot)# reload
Reboots the router to the ROMMON prompt.
Step 5
unset BOOT
Example:rommon 1 > unset BOOT
Clears the router monitor BOOT variable.
Step 6
BOOTLDR=bootflash:bootfile
Example:rommon 2 > BOOTLDR=bootflash: c12kprp-boot-mz.120-29.2.S
Sets the BOOTLDR monitor variable.
Step 7
TURBOBOOT=option1,option2,...optionx
Example:rommon 3 > TURBOBOOT=on,disk0
Sets the TURBOBOOT monitor variable.
•
These values are described in the "Diskboot Process" section.
Step 8
sync
Example:rommon 4 > sync
Writes the monitor environment to NVRAM.
Step 9
reset
Example:rommon 5 > reset
Performs a system reset.
•
This resets the rommon prompt label to 1.
Step 10
boot tftp bootfile ip-address
or
boot ftp://username:password@ftpAddress//bootfile bootflash:
Example:rommon 1 > boot tftp c12k-mini.3.1.0.vm 192.85.16.23
or
rommon 1> boot ftp:user:[email protected]//c12k-mini.3.1.0.v m
Boots the external process specified by the parameters of the boot command.
or
Specifies the username, password, FTP address, file path, and Cisco IOS XR image.
Step 11
Respond to Administration User Dialog for username and password.
Example:Enter root-ssytem username: admin
Enter secret: admin
Generates the admin user on the unconfigured router.
Step 12
Respond to the save configuration dialog.
Example:[0] Return back to the setup without saving this config.
[1] Save this configuration and exit.
Enter your selection [1]: 1
Saves the admin user configuration.
- 昇級完成後，例排記得upgrade fabric-downloader all
- 最後，貼一個昇級實例：

Proceed with reload? [confirm]
