REMOTE UPGRADE OF THE OPERATIONAL SOFTWARE (OSW)

To remotely upgrade the operational software, follow these steps:

1.From the PC/workstation, Telnet to the CyberSWITCH and login as admin.

2.Verify that the system is ready to receive TFTP upgrades:

Enter MANAGE MODE by typing manage <RET> at the system prompt.

Using the MANAGE MODE command tftp, verify that:

TFTP feature is enabled

TFTP server is enabled

TFTP server is assigned ADMIN file access rights

Using the MANAGE MODE command fileattr, verify that:

ADMIN has READ/WRITE access to CONFIG files

ADMIN has READ/WRITE access to OTHER files

Exit MANAGE MODE by typing exit <RET>.

3.Using the TFTP client on the remote workstation, TFTP the UPGRADE.OSW file to the CyberSWITCH in binary mode. Be sure to include the file’s full pathname (for example: D:\CSX1204\US\IPIPX\UPGRADE.OSW). The exact method to transfer varies, depending upon your TFTP client.

Note: If you experience a transmission timeout, check the retransmission setting on the TFTP package. A retransmission rate of 10 seconds is usually sufficient; values less than that may not work properly.
