IP Trunk 3.01 (and later) upgrades 411

using a modem, an FTP session, or TM 3.1. Patch ﬁles are stored in Flash

memory and are loaded into DRAM memory. Once a patch is in DRAM

memory, it can be activated, deactivated, and its status can be monitored.

Perform the following tasks prior to loading a patch:

1. Check that the patch matches the platform’s CPU type.

2. Check the loadware version on the card.

3. Block the installation if there is a mismatch.

The installation of a patch is blocked if either the CPU type or the loadware

version of the IP trunk card is different than the patch. If the installation is

blocked, the reason for blocking the install is printed at the CLI. The CPU

type and loadware version are also checked during a power-up or reboot

cycle. This prevents active patches from being re-installed if the loadware

version of the IP trunk card is changed.

Table 67 "Patch commands" (page 411) lists the patch commands.

Patch commands

Command

Description

]pload

Loads a patch file from the file system in Flash memory into DRAM memory.

The loaded patch is inactive until it is put into service using the pins command.

When a patch is successfully loaded, the pload command returns a patch

handle number. The patch handle number is used as input to other patch

commands (pins, poos, pout, and plis).

Syntax:

pload "[patch-filename]"

where [patch-filename] is the filename or path of the patch file. If a filename

alone is provided, the patch must be in the /C:/u/patch directory. Otherwise, the

full or relative path can be provided.

If the pload command is issued without a parameter, the technician is prompted

for the patch filename and other information.
