Managing Software Upgrading Boot PROM Software
Note
If the RS has a redundant Control Module, the upgrade performed on the primary
CM will occur automatically on the backup CM.
6.
Use the
system image list
command to verify the change.
Note
You do not need to activate this change.
7.
Reboot the RS to load and run the new system software image.
5.2 UPGRADING BOOT PROM SOFTWARE
The RS boots using the boot PROM image software installed on the Control Module’s internal memory. To upgrade
the boot PROM image, use the following procedure.
1.
Display the current boot settings by entering the
system show version
command. Note the
current
Boot Prom Image
version.
Here is an example:
2.
Copy the upgrade boot PROM image 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 bootPROM upgrade onto the RS’s internal memory:
