Administering the NAM
Operating System-Independent Administration
The following sections describe NAM administration that is independent of the switch operating system.

Adding NAM Patch Software

To install a patch on the NAM, follow these steps:
Step 1 Log into the switch through the console port or through a Telnet session.
Step 2 To add the patch software, the NAM must be running in the application image. If the NAM is already
running in the application image, go to Step 4. Otherwise, if the NAM is in the maintenance image,
enter this command in privileged mode:
For Cisco IOS software enter:
root@localhost# hw-mod module module_number
root@localhost# reset mod hdd:2
For Catalyst OS software enter:
Console> (enable) reset mod hdd:1
Step 3 After the NAM is back online, establish a console session with the NAM, and then log into the root
account.
Step 4 Install the patch software to the NAM software by entering this command:
root@localhost# patch ftp-url
ftp-url is the FTP location and the name of the NAM patch software image file.
Note If the FTP server does not allow anonymous users, use the following syntax for the ftp-url
value: ftp://user@host/absolute-path/filename. Enter your password when prompted.
Step 5 Follow the screen prompts during the patch application process.
Step 6 Enter the following command after you apply the patch and set the port.
root@localhost# ip heep secure server enable
Step 7 (Optional) Verify the initial configuration after the NAM comes back online by logging into the NAM
root account and then entering these commands:
root@localhost# show ip
root@localhost# show patches
This Catalyst OS software example shows how to apply patch software:
