Upgrading System and Router Software via TFTP using Proxy

Required: - Router Service card (TSR) release 1.0 or higher

-Controller software 1.1 or higher

-Ethernet cable connected to port on front of Router card

1.Set up the Proxy with the following commands

set ethernet ip address {ip-addr} [mask]

set {rtr_lan-addr} ip address {ip-addr} [mask] set {rtr_card-addr} proxy enable {ip-addr} [mask] set ip gateway {ip-addr}

Example: (example with router in slot 3)

set ethernet ip address 10.0.0.1 255.0.0.0 set 3:1 ip address 192.168.100.1/24

set 3 proxy enable 192.168.100.80/24 set ip gateway 192.168.100.80

NOTE: See Chapter 5, CLI Commands for more information on these commands.

1.Login to the Axxius 800 using the Proxy IP address, (example: 192.168.100.80) using a terminal emulation program or via Telnet.

2.Enter: load [slot] tftp {ip-addr} "file-name"

where [slot] = the slot number of a router card. If no slot number is listed, the file is loaded to the Controller.

{ip-addr}= the IP address of the host device holding the downloadable software

"file-name"= the software file name, including path, if needed. Enclosed in quotes. Example: "c:\cac_sw\axxius1_0_z_all.mgm".

This example loads axxius1_0_z_all.mgm via tftp from the C drive and CAC_sw subdirectory. The path information must be provided.

The tftp utility provided by Carrier Access with the downloadable software must also be running, in the same directory as the software file.
