Step 7 Quit your terminal session:
ftp> quit
Goodbye.
Step 8 Enter the ls -al command to verify that you successfully transferred the files to your local directory:
server% ls -al
total 596
-r--r--r-- 1 280208 Jul 10 18:08 np-spe-upw-10.0.1.2.bin
server% pwd
/auto/tftpboot
Step 9 Transfer these files to a local TFTP or remote copy protocol (RCP) server that your access server or
router can access.
Copying the SPE Firmware File from the Local TFTP Server to the SPEs
The procedure for copying the SPE firmware file from your local TFTP server to the Cisco AS5400
NextPort DFCs or Cisco AS5800 UPCs is a two-step process. First, transfer the SPE firmware to the
access server’s Flash memory. Then, configure the SPEs to use the upgrade firmware. The upgrade
occurs automatically, either as you leave configuration mode, or as specified in the configuration.
These two steps are performed only once. After you copy the SPE firmware file into Flash memory for
the first time, you should not have to perform these steps again.
Note Because the SPE firmware is configurable for individual SPEs or ranges of SPEs, the Cisco IOS
software automatically copies the SPE firmware to each SPE each time the access server restarts.
To transfer SPE Firmware to Flash memory, perform the following task to download the Universal SPE
firmware to Flash memory:
Step 1 Check the image in the access server Flash memory:
Router# show flash
System flash directory:
File Length Name/status
1 4530624 c5400-js-mx
[498776 bytes used, 16278440 available, 16777216 total]
16384K bytes of processor board System flash (Read/Write)
Step 2 Enter the copy tftp flash command to download the code file from the TFTP server into the access server
Flash memory. You are prompted for the download destination and the remote host name.
Router# copy tftp flash
Step 3 Enter the show flash command to verify that the file has been copied into the access server Flash
memory:
Router# show flash
