Note As soon as a firmware file is specified, the downloading begins. Do not specify all modems and then
go into an upgrade process on a busy router. The modems that are not busy will all be marked busy
and the server will wait until all the modems on each of the given cards are free before upgrading the
multiple-port cards. The only way to clear this situation is to start disconnecting users with a clear
command. Normally, groups of modems are specified in scripts with the spe slot/spe_begin and
slot/spe_end statements, and upgrades are done in a rolling fashion.
Use the show modem version and show spe version commands to verify that the modems are running
the portware version you specified.
The following example shows how to enter the SPE configuration mode, set the range of SPEs, specify
the firmware file location in flash memory, download the file to the SPEs, and display a status report
using the show spe EXEC command:
Router# configure terminal
Router(config)# spe 7/0 7/17
Router(config-spe)# firmware upgrade busyout
Router(config-spe)# firmware location flash:np_6_75
Started downloading firmware flash:np_6_75.spe
Router(config-spe)# exit
Router(config)# exit
Router# show spe 7
.
.
.
Step 4
Router(config-spe)# firmware location
[
IFS :[/]] filename
Specifies the SPE firmware file in flash memory to use for
the selected SPEs. Allows you to upgrade firmware for
SPEs after the new SPE firmware image is copied to your
flash memory.
The Cisco IOS file specification (IFS) can be any valid IFS
on any local file system. Use the dir all-filesystems EXEC
command to display legal IFSs. Examples of legal IFS
specifications include:
• bootflash:—Loads the firmware from a separate flash
memory device.
• flash:—Loads the firmware from the flash NVRAM
located within the router.
• system:/—Loads the firmware from a built-in file
within the Cisco IOS image. The optional forward slash
(/) and system path must be entered with this
specification.
• filename—The name of the desired firmware file (for
example, mica-modem-pw.2.7.3.0.bin). If the system
keyword is specified, enter the path to the filename you
want to download.
Step 5
Router(config-spe)# exit
Exits SPE configuration mode.
Step 6
Router(config)# exit
Exits global configuration mode.
Step 7
Router# copy running-config startup-config
Saves your changes.
