6.2 Upgrading firmware using CLI

To upgrade firmware using CLI, you will need a TFTP server on a connected PC.

Open up an SSH or Telnet session to the router.

Enter in the relevant username and password.

To change into the temp folder, enter:

cd /tmp

To connect to your TFTP server, enter:

atftp x.x.x.x

(where x.x.x.x is the IP of your PC).

Press Enter.

While in the TFTP application, to get the image, enter:

get GIG-15.00.38.image

Note: this is an example, substitute the correct file name.

When the image has downloaded, to leave TFPT and get back into the command

line, enter:

quit

To write the image into the alternative image, enter:

mtd write GIG-15.00.38.image altimage

Note: this is an example, substitute the correct file name.

To set the next image to boot to the alternative image, enter:

vacmd set next image altimage.

For your configuration changes to apply, you must reboot your router. Enter:

reboot
