Special Considerations if the Last Boot Was a Network Boot
If the OnBoard was last booted over the network from a TFTP server, the
message shown in the following figure appears.
Figure 9-8: Mgmt → Firmware Upgrade Screen With Net Boot Message
If the last boot was a network boot from a TFTP server, clicking the “Upgrade
Now” button writes the currently-running image from the RAM memory into
the flash memory.
As described in a note on the screen shown in Figure 9-8, if the screen
appears, the administrative user has two additional choices:
• Configure another image that resides on a TFTP server as the boot file,
boot from the new image, and then return to this screen to upgrade the
new image from the RAM memory.
• Boot from another image that is stored in the flash memory, and then use
the current screen to download a new image using FTP.
The “Image destination” pull-down menu provides the following three
choices:
• Install into image 1, preserving image 2
• Install into image 2, preserving image 1
• Erase Flash and install into image 1
The “Configuration to install” menu provides the following two choices:
• Use the current configuration
• Restore the factory default configuration
