7.2.5 Upgrading Switch Operating firmware
Note ATM SmartSwitch operating firmware can also be updated using the switch
console update firmware command (see Section7.1).
1. Set up the TFTP/Bootp server software on a workstation.
2. Connect both the TFTP/Bootp server and the ATM SmartSwitch to your Ethernet network. Make
sure that the TFTP/Bootp server can be reached by the ATM SmartSwitch Ethernet interface.
3. Connect a dumb terminal (or workstation running terminal emulation software) to the ATM
SmartSwitch Terminal port.
4. Copy the ATM SmartSwitch operating firmware image into the appropriate location on the
TFTP/Bootp server. (In this example, the firmware is located at c:\tftpboot\images\server.ima.)
5. Set up the TFTP/Bootp server tables (or equivalent file) with:
-ATM SmartSwitch MAC address
-IP address of the ATM SmartSwitch Ethernet interface
-path to the operating firmware file on the TFTP/Bootp server
6. From the terminal connection, enter the reboot command.
7. When the following message appears,
“Press any key to exit to bootline prompt.”
stop the countdown by pressing any key. The bootline prompt (=>) appears on the terminal screen.
8. Enter the df s command. The ATM SmartSwitch contacts the TFTP/Bootp server and downloads
the switch operating firmware into flash RAM.
