Upgrading from FastIron 08.0.70 or Earlier to 09.0.00 for the ICX 7250, ICX 7450, and ICX 7650

When upgrading directly from FastIron 08.0.70 or earlier releases to 09.0.00 or later releases, all pre-existing licensed features and in some cases access lists (ACLs) will be lost. To prevent the loss of licensed features and ACLs, perform the upgrade in two steps:

  1. First, upgrade to the 08.0.80f non-UFI version. Upgrade the respective boot image also, and save the configuration with the write memory command.
  2. Second, upgrade to 08.0.90 UFI or later release. When upgrading to the UFI version, the boot image will be upgraded automatically.

The upgrade path is 08.0.61 or prior -> 08.0.80f (non-UFI) –> 08.0.90 or later (UFI).

Note that this upgrade consideration applies only when the ICX 7250, ICX 7450, and ICX 7650 platforms are upgraded from 08.0.70 or earlier releases. It does not apply to upgrades from 08.0.80 or later.
