Managing SPE Firmware
You can upgrade your modem firmware to the latest NextPort Service Processing Element (SPE)
firmware image available from Cisco. The SPE firmware image is usually retrieved from Cisco.com. You
must first copy the SPE image from a TFTP server to flash memory using the copy tftp flash command.
You then configure the firmware upgrade using the firmware location and firmware upgrade SPE
configuration commands. The firmware location command specifies the location of the firmware file
and downloads the firmware to an SPE or a range of SPEs, according to the schedule you selected for
the firmware upgrade method using the firmware upgrade command.
The modem firmware upgrade commands must be saved into the system configuration using the write
memory command; otherwise, at the next reboot downloading of the specified firmware will not occur.
To upgrade SPE firmware, use the following commands:
Command Purpose
Step 1
Router# configure terminal
Enters global configuration mode.
Step 2
AS5400:
Router(config)# spe slot/spe
or
Router(config)# spe slot/spe slot/spe
AS5800:
Router(config)# spe shelf/slot/spe
or
Router(config)# spe shelf/slot/spe
shelf/slot/spe
Enters SPE configuration mode. You can choose to
configure a range of SPEs by specifying the first and last
SPE in the range.
Step 3
Router(config-spe)# firmware upgrade {busyout |
download-maintenance | reboot}
Specifies the upgrade method.
Three methods of upgrade are available. The busyout
keyword waits until all calls are terminated on an SPE
before upgrading the SPE to the designated firmware. The
download-maintenance keyword upgrades the firmware
during the download maintenance time. The reboot
keyword requests the access server to upgrade firmware at
the next reboot.
