As others have mentioned, there are too many unknowns to give you a good 
answer to this question.  I would recommend starting with a search on 
Cisco's website, using search terms like "software upgrade (model number 
of your device)" or "IOS upgrade (model)" if you know it's an IOS device.
If you have the a CCO account, or have the ability to get one, using that 
is a good idea too.  Many Cisco software downloads are restricted to 
registered users, plus having a CCO account plus valid support contracts 
allows you to open support cases with the TAC.

When the device tells you it's up and you can exchange traffic with 
devices on the far end of the tunnel.

It's generally helpful if you provide more detail when asking for this 
kind of help, along with mentioning what other troubleshooting or data 
gathering you've done up to that point.  That can help people answer 
questions more accurately, and it shows that you've tried to do some of 
the work on your own.
