Chapter 19 Upgrading Avaya M770 ATM Switch Software

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.

1Before 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.

Command:

M15-155s8:/>system snapshot

<filename>

Output:

M15-155s8:/>system

snapshot

snap1408.txt

 

Flash and NVwrites

stopped...

Snapshot saved to Configuration file 'snap1408.txt'

2Before 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:

Command:

M770s8:/>flash directory

 

Output:

Flash Filing System contains 5 files

 

BOOT+

423865

m770ATMbl.2.0.3

 

TEXT

config.data - do not delete

 

MAIN (C)

1005795

m770ATM.1.1.7

 

MAIN* (C)

1012725

m770ATM.1.2.14

 

CONFIG

1024

snapshot_1.1

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.

Command:

M15-155s8:/>M770s8:/>flash delete <filename>

 

 

Example

M15-155s8:/>M770s8:/>flash delete m770ATM.1.2.14

Parameter:

<filename>

The name of the file you wish to delete from the flash

 

 

directory.
