Utilizing the Command Line Interface

DOS-style full path (without the file name) of the site of the Bootrom file on the host PC.

The username and password to use when connecting to your FTP server on the host PC.

6.Verify the network boot values using the sn command. For example:

XSR: sn

Local IP address : 192.168.1.1

Remote IP address : 192.168.1.2

Remote file path : c:/XSR

Transfer Protocol : FTP

Ftp userid

:

administrator

Ftp password

:

anonymous

Local target name :

XSR

Autoboot

:

enabled

Quick boot

:

no

Current 405 ethernet MAC address is: 00:01:f4:00:01:02

Current PCI ethernet MAC address is: 00:01:f4:01:01:03

7.Type b to list the boot command group.

8.Enter the bU command to transfer the Bootrom image file over FTP and upgrade the Bootrom flash sectors to the latest version. Be sure to enter the command with an uppercase U and follow the prompts.

Caution: If the Bootrom file transfer is corrupted due to a network interruption, this step may render the router unusable. If you suspect this has happened, type n at the confirmation prompt to abort erasing and replacing the Bootrom. Then, delete the file (type: rm bootrom1_21.fls, for example) and re-issue the bU command to transfer the image again. Here is a sample session:

XSR1800: bU bootrom_uncmp.fls

ftp RETR 192.168.1.2:c:/XSR1850/ bootrom_uncmp.fls into flash bootrom_uncmp.fls

........ Saved 818448 bytes to flash: bootrom_uncmp.fls

Checking bootrom_uncmp.fls...

Updating bootrom with file, “bootrom_uncmp.fls”.

Proceed with erasing current Bootrom in flash and replace with bootrom_uncmp.fls? (y/n) y
