Software Upgrade Instructions

This chapter details the steps necessary to upgrade the software on your Cabletron ATM switch. Some instructions in this chapter are only necessary under certain conditions—check the following before you proceed:

•If, after performing the upgrade, you wish to continue using an older version of software on your switch, you must read Section 6.4.

•If you wish to begin using the latest version of software immediately after performing the upgrade, you can skip Section 6.4.

•If you are unable to boot your switch from its FLASH, you must fol- low the instructions in Section 6.5.

First, you need the upgrade ﬁle from Cabletron Systems. This ﬁle can be obtained via ftp or diskette. To obtain the ﬁle via ftp, you must have ftp access. To obtain the ﬁle from diskette, you will need the distribution dis- kettes from Cabletron Systems.

NOTE: Sections 6.1 - 6.4 detail how to upgrade an

SFCS200WG, SFCS-200BX or an SFCS-1000.

NOTE: You will also need a UNIX workstation with at least 5 Mbytes of free disk space. If you are upgrading from the distribution diskettes, the UNIX workstation must also be equipped with a ﬂoppy drive. The UNIX workstation must be connected (via ATM or Ethernet) to the SCP being upgraded.

CAUTION As a precaution, it is recommended that you back up your CDB before performing the upgrade process. For more information, see the section entitled, “Backing Up the CDB” in Appendix C of the Cabletron ATM Switch

Conﬁguration Manual.

NOTE: Each of the SCPs on an SFCS-1000 must be upgraded individually.

For example, an OC-3c network module that is removed from slot A of the old switch fabric must be installed in slot A of the new switch fabric. Therefore, it is recommended that you label all network connections and network modules before removing them Hardware Maintenance Procedures 5-17CAUTION Make sure the replacement board is properly aligned in the slot in the next step Hardware Maintenance Procedures 5-18 CHAPTER Software Upgrade InstructionsSoftware Upgrade Instructions 6.1 Obtaining the Software Upgrade File via Diskettetar -xvf device eject deviceSoftware Upgrade Instructions foreextract devicemkdir /tftpboot 6.2 Performing the Software Upgrademv ﬁlename /tftpboot operation upgrade ?operation upgrade 169.144.3.54ASX-200BX4.0.01.3 operation upgrade 169.144.3.54asx-scp4.0.01.3Software Upgrade Instructions Reboot the switchy? y Software Upgrade InstructionsSoftware Upgrade Instructions 6.3 Changing between Multiple Versions of Softwarelocalhostoperation reboot Software Upgrade InstructionsAre you sure you want to reboot this switch n? y 6.4.2 Setting Up Your bootp Server 6.4 Using bootp to Download Software to the Switch6.4.1 Overview Software Upgrade Instructions6-10 6.4.3 Adding an Entry for Your Switch in the bootptab FileSoftware Upgrade Instructions Software Upgrade Instructions 6-11The variables in the previous example are deﬁned as follows 6-12 6.4.4 Setting Up a tftpboot ServerSoftware Upgrade Instructions A.1 Adapter Hardware Troubleshooting TroubleshootingAPPENDIX A Figure A.1 -
