Software Update

The Software Update option is used to change the software in the flash memory of the router. This is the runtime software that is configured by the console and is used to setup the router and is described in full in the preceding chapter.

The runtime software should only be updated if you are encountering problems with your current runtime software or you are certain your runtime software is lacking functionality contained in a more recent version.

Downloading new software will only replace the runtime software and will not affect any configuration settings you have made. Upon running the new software, the router will be configured exactly as you had it before downloading the new software.

The runtime software (image file) must be stored on a TFTP server and accessed via the LAN.

Items listed in the above menu are described as follows:

•Software Update Control – This toggles disable and enable.

•Software Update Mode – This specifies downloading the image file from a Network server on the local LAN.

•Boot Protocol – This setting is for a local network download and has two options TFTP and BootP&TFTP.

•TFTP – A File Transfer Protocol. Using this setting assumes all other items on this screen have been filled out.

•BootP&TFTP – BootP is run first and sends your router IP Addresses for the TFTP server and the router, and tells the router the path to the software update (image file). Then TFTP will be used to download the image file.

•Boot Server IP Address – This specifies the IP address of the server to be used to download the image file.

•Boot File Name – This specifies a complete path and filename on the TFTP server. If you choose to use a configuration file, this setting must show the path
