Downloading Software Images and Configuration Files

The software download feature facilitates downloading of software image files for the System Controller

Card (SCC), Narrowband Service Card (NSC), and Broadband Service Card (BSC) on multiple systems.

Downloading the software does not automatically activate it; the system continues to operate on the

current software until you perform the upgrade procedure. When downloading software images, Cisco

MGM accepts a list of MGX 8260 nodes and the fully-qualified name of the image or configuration file.

After download, the system reports successes and failures by chassis name.

To download software, follow these steps:

Step 1 Log on to Cisco EMF. The Launchpad screen opens.

Step 2 Click the Viewer button. The Map Viewer screen opens.

Step 3 Expand the tree of objects to display the list of MGX 8260 sites and nodes.

Step 4 Right-click on the icon for the desired site; then click Open Software DownLoad Dialog. The Software

Downlaod screen opens.

Step 5 Select one or more MGX 8260 nodes from the list.

Step 6 Enter the file information:

Step 7 Click Start Image/Config File Download.

The system downloads the software to each chassis and reports the results.

Step 8 Repeat steps 1 to 4 for other card images. Each card type in your system, such as SCC or BSC, has its

own software image file.

Field Description

Image/Config Source File Name The fully-qualified name and path of the file to download.

Image/Config Destination File Name The name of the software image or configuration file. The file

format for a software image is:

The card type is scc, bsc, or nsc. The version indicates the

major release, minor release, and version. The file extension is

.img for software images and .cnf for configuration files. The

key is the tftp security key for the destination chassis. You can

view the key using the MGX 8260 command, lskey.

For example: scc_r01.02.03.img.123456 indicates SCC

software for release 1.2.3. The release and version information

(r01.02.03) must be exactly 9 characters in length; the key

(123456) is exactly 6 characters long.
