Release Notes for 07.8.04

Upgrading the FPGA on a 10 Gigabit Ethernet Module

<tftp-ip-addr> is the TFTP server’s IP address. <file-name> is the image file name. <command-integer>is one of the following values:

20 – Downloads the software code into the device’s primary flash area.

22 – Downloads the software code into the device’s secondary flash area.

Upgrading the FPGA on a 10 Gigabit Ethernet Module

This section explains how to upgrade an FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) on a 10 Gigabit Ethernet module. 10 Gigabit Ethernet modules do not have boot code separate from the management module. However, they do have FPGAs that require separate software.

NOTE: The J8174A 2-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet module with XENPAK optics uses a different FPGA file than the older J4891A 1-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet module. See Table 5 on page 6 for a list of the FPGA files supported on both the 1-port and 2-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet modules.

The J8174A 2-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet module with XENPAK optics can function in the same chassis with the older J4891A 1-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet module.

If an upgrade is required for any of the FPGA files, you must upgrade all the FPGA files.

To upgrade the FPGA on a 10 Gigabit Ethernet module:

1.Complete the upgrades of the boot code and software code, if required.

2.Enter the following command for the 10 Gigabit Ethernet module at the privileged EXEC level of the CLI: 10gig copy tftp flash <ip-addr> <filename> [module <slotnum>]

Where:

tftp specifies the location of the FPGA file. The tftp parameter shows that the file is on a TFTP server. <ip-addr> specifies the IP address of the TFTP server, if you specify tftp.

<filename> specifies the FPGA file name. The 2-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet module has only two FPGA files; xpp.bin and xtm.bin. For more information on the supported FPGA files, see Table 5 on page 6.

module <slotnum> is an optional parameter that specifies the modules on which you want to install the upgrade. If you do not specify a slot number, the command upgrades the FPGA on all 10 Gigabit Ethernet modules in the chassis.

Example

ProCurve 9300# 10gig copy tftp flash 10.10.10.10 rxbmgr.bin ProCurve 9300# 10gig copy tftp flash 10.10.10.10 rxpp.bin ProCurve 9300# 10gig copy tftp flash 10.10.10.10 txaccum.bin ProCurve 9300# 10gig copy tftp flash 10.10.10.10 txpp.bin ProCurve 9300# 10gig copy tftp flash 10.10.10.10 ageram.bin

NOTE: You can store and copy the FPGA files using any valid filename. You are not required to store and copy the files using the names listed in “Boot Code Requirements for ProCurve Software” on page 5. The device uses information within the files to install them in the correct FPGAs, and the show flash command lists the FPGAs according to the names in “Boot Code Requirements for ProCurve Software” on page 5.

3.Reload the software by entering one of the following commands:

•reload (this command boots from the default boot source, which is the primary flash area by default)

•boot system flash primary secondary
