tftp -i hostaddress put sourcefile [destinationfile]
where -i is for binary mode and hostaddress is the IP address of the
unit to be upgraded. put causes the PC client to send a file to the
hostaddress.
7. The original sourcefile name of SW files supplied by Alvarion is in
the structure uX_Y_Z.bz, where u is the unit type (a for BU, s for
RB) and X.Y.Z is the version number.
8. destinationfile is the name of the file to be loaded. Use the SNMP
write community <SnmpWriteCommunity>.bz to define the
destination filename. The default SNMP write community is private.
For example, to load the upgrade file a1_1_4.bz to a BU whose IP
address is 206.25.63.65: tftp -i 206.25.63.65 put a1_1_4.bz
private.bz
9. When the loading is complete, the following message is displayed,
indicating completion of the TFTP process:
Download operation has been completed successfully
10. The unit decompresses the loaded file and checks the integrity of
the new version. The new version replaces the previous shadow
version only after verification. If verification tests fail, the loaded
version will be rejected. Among other things that are tested, the unit
will reject a file if either the file name or the version number
matches either the current Main or Shadow versions. The unit will
also reject a file designated for a different unit type, e.g. a BU
upgrade file with the prefix a in the original file name will not be
accepted by Sus.
11. The FLASH memory can store two software versions. One version is
called Current and the second version is called Shadow. The new
version is loaded into the Shadow (backup) FLASH memory. To
check that the new firmware was properly downloaded and verified,
view the firmware versions stored in the FLASH, as follows:
A. From the Main Menu, select 2 - Unit Control.
B. From the Unit Control menu, select 5 - Flash Memory Control.
C. From the Flash Memory Control menu, select S - Show Flash
Versions. The following information is displayed:
