Determining the Version of the Current Boot PROM Image
To determine the version number of boot PROM images residing in a router, start
a Telnet session with the router and enter the following command at the
Technician Interface prompt:
get wfHwEntry.19.*
With a Model BLN router, for example, information similar to the following
appears, with one
wfHwEntry.wfHwBootPromSource line for each slot.
wfHwEntry.wfHwBootPromSource.1 = (nil)
wfHwEntry.wfHwBootPromSource.2 = "rel/8.10/freboot.exe"
wfHwEntry.wfHwBootPromSource.3 = "rel/8.10/freboot.exe"
wfHwEntry.wfHwBootPromSource.4 = "rel/8.10/freboot.exe"
wfHwEntry.wfHwBootPromSource.5 = "rel/8.10/freboot.exe"
Each line of response to the command specifies:
• A slot number (for example, “
wfHwEntry.wfHwBootPromSource.
2
”
identifies slot 2)
• A path name that contains the version number of the image stored in the boot
PROM (for example, “
rel/8.10/freboot.exe
” identifies the Version 8.10
boot PROM image freboot.exe in slot 2)
Determining the Version of the Current Diagnostics PROM Image
To determine the version number of DIAG PROM images residing in a router,
start a Telnet session with the router and enter the following command at the
Technician Interface prompt:
get wfHwEntry.16.*
Note:
The command does not return a boot PROM version number for slot 1
because slot 1 contains a System Resource Module (SRM). This applies to all
router models except the AN and ASN.
