Once the configuration has been loaded, this corruption is not detected until an IPL/IML, power cycle, or Firmware code load. If the NVRAM in the active CTP has corrupted contents, the firmware load can cause the configuration to reset to factory defaults, which could cause a system outage. By using the following procedure to upgrade firmware, configuration can be preserved and a system outage can be avoided. This issue is corrected with Version 05.02.00-13 firmware.
