To verify successful completion of a PROM upgrade, enter:
prom -v <volume_no.> <Diag_PROM_source_file> <slot_ID >
For example, for a boot PROM, enter:
prom -v <volume_no.> : [ freboot.exe
|
asnboot.exe
|
anboot.exe ] <slot_ID>
For a diagnostics PROM, enter:
prom -v <volume_no.> : [ frediag.exe
|
asndiag.exe
|
andiag.exe ] <slot_ID>
The system verifies that the PROM image on a designated flash volume (that
is, the image file used as a source for upgrading the PROM) matches the
image actually stored in the boot or diagnostics PROM on a designated slot.
When you use the
-v option, the console displays one of the following
messages after the verification routine terminates:
prom: slot <slot_ID> completed successfully
prom: PROM data does not match file data on slot <slot ID>
If the operation succeeds, the new images stored in the boot and diagnostics
PROMs run when you reboot the router.
If the operation fails, the console displays a message describing the cause of
the failure.
Additional Examples:
prom -v 2:frediag.exe 3
Verifies the contents of the diagnostics
PROM on slot 3 against the contents of the
frediag.exe file on volume 2
prom -w 2:freboot.exe 3
Erases the bootstrap PROM on slot 3 and
copies the contents of the freboot.exe file
on volume 2 to the PROM on slot 3
Any one of the following:
prom -w 2:frediag.exe 2, 3, 4, 5
prom -w 2:frediag.exe 2 3 4 5
prom -w 2:frediag.exe 2, 3-5
prom -w 2:frediag.exe 2-5
Erases the diagnostics PROMs on slots 2,
3, 4, and 5 and copies the contents of the
frediag.exe file on volume 2 to the PROMs
on slots 2, 3, 4, and 5
