Ping the NMC from the TFTP server PC
and be sure there is a response.
Place the upgrade file(s) in the same folder
as the TFTP server program.
Start the TFTP server on the connected PC.
In our example, we are using the free tftp32
TFTP server. If Windows® is running a firewall,
a security alert will popup. Click the "Unblock"
button to allow TFTP protocol from the TFTP
Server application.
From the console terminal menu, select "9"
to upgrade the kernel (very rare) or "A" to
upgrade the filesystem (more likely).
The screen at the left shows that the
romfs323.gz file was transferred OK.
Note: Use the console menu items 6&7 to
set the filenames for the kernel and/or
filesystem if they do not match the upgrade file
names.
You may now close the TFTP server on the
PC by click the upper-right corner “X”.
