Abstract
A multi-chassis router allows an administrator to install software from a single user interface. The multi-chassis router automatically forwards the software to each chassis within the multi-chassis router when given a single command to install the software from an administrator. The multi-chassis router also automatically validates the software on each chassis. This allows each chassis within the multi-chassis router to have the same software during all stages of a software installation and ensures software on each chassis is compatible with software on every other chassis. In effect, an administrator does not need to account for the multiple chassis configuration, and an administrator familiar with software installation on a standalone router can use that knowledge to install software on the multi-chassis router.
