5 MANAGING SOFTWARE
This chapter describes how to perform operations regarding RS 8000/8600 operating software and bootPROM
images software. The following topics are covered:
•
Upgrading the system image software
•
Upgrading the Boot PROM image software
•
Loading RS software from a TFTP server
•
Loading RS software from a BootP/TFTP server
•
Upgrading the operating software without rebooting the RS
•
Upgrading FPGA code on line cards
5.1 UPGRADING SYSTEM IMAGE SOFTWARE
To upgrade the system software and boot using the upgraded image, perform the following procedure.
1.
Display the current boot settings by using the
system show version
command. Note the
current
Image Boot Location
.
Here is an example:
In the example above, the location “
pc-flash
” indicates that the RS is set to use the factory-installed
software on the PC card.
2.
Copy the upgrade system software onto a TFTP server that the RS can access. (Use the
ping
command to verify that the RS can reach the TFTP server.)
Note
If the TFTP server is one or more hops away from the RS, add a route to the
TFTP server’s network using the
ip add route
command.
3.
Enter the following command to copy the software upgrade onto the RS’s PC card:
rs# system show version
