As for the upgrade of stacked devices, when the main programs of member devices
are different in version, the automatic installation process will start as well. The
firmware image on the master device will be synchronized to salv
the inconsistent version of image, and installation will commence on these devices.
After the installation, the entire stack of devices will be reset. When all devices enter
into ready state, they will be running the identical main program.
As for chassis devices (such as DES-7200 series), the installation may be activated
when a new line card is plugged. In case a line card is plugged when the device is still
running, the service of this line card will be started if the system detects that this line
card is compatible with the program image of current device, or use the line card
program image contained in the firmware stored in the master management board to
upgrade this line card or download the image if incompatible. The line card will be
reset after
