2.3.4 Firmware Update

For CLI:

If you want to update firmware code, you must get image file from FTP Server. Suppose that FTP Server IP address is 172.16.10.219 and the image filename is ‘vmlinux_u2402_ 1.00B05’.

Example:

1. Firmware update:

enable

//go to enable mode

configure

//go to configuration mode

firmware login 172.16.10.219 username share password tg123 firmware upgrade vmlinux_u2402_1.00B05

(Firmware upgrade may take a few minutes, don’t turn off or reset the system during the process. You can get status using command ‘show firmware status’ in Enable execution mode.)

exit //back to enable mode

show firmware status

(When status returns “Upgraded already!”, you can restart the system to run new firmware image. Once you upgrade successfully, you can’t upgrade the second time unless you have restarted the system.)

show firmware partition

//show partition information

Current Version:1.00B05

Active

(Note: the ‘Active’ status of the firmware partition information means the active partition for next time restart, not current running partition. You can see which partition is current running partition by referring to the Current Version. )

2.The IDL-2402 provides two firmware memory partitions. If you want to change the firmware partition for booting, use the following commands (if you change to the non-active partition, system will restart immediately):

enable

//go to enable mode

configure

//go to configuration mode

firmware partition <number> //select partition 1 or 2 for next power-on
