Upgrading Software via TFTP from the Command Line Interface (CLI)
To download files to the ATM Module via TFTP use the procedure outlined below.
This example explains how to download version 2.0 software.
1 Before downloading a new software version, it is recommended to take a
snapshot of your current module configuration. If it is needed to revert to a
previous version, it is best to use the configuration that was used with that
version. To take a snapshot use the system snapshot command.
2 Before you can download software updates via TFTP from the CLI determine
how many S/W Main images and Boot Loader versions are in flash memory.
To display a listing of the flash memory, use the flash directory command:
The Main S/W image is of the type “MAIN,” and the * means that this image
will be used on the next reboot (to see the current Main S/W version, type the
command /version). The Boot loader image is of the type “BOOT,” and the +
next to it means that this Boot loader will be used on the next reboot.
The M770 ATM module flash memory can hold a maximum of two Main S/W
versions and two Boot loader versions. This means that before you can TFTP a
new Main or Boot loader software version, there can only be one of that type in
flash memory. To delete a file from flash memory, use the flash delete
command and confirm the deletion.
