Upgrading Firmware and Managing Configurations

14.1.3 Upgrading Firmware Using ROSTFTP Client

Identify the IP address of the host providing the TFTP server capability. Ensure that the firmware revision to be downloaded (e.g. ROS-CF52_Main_v3.0.0.bin) is present there.

Telnet to the device or connect to its console port. Enter the CLI shell and run command “tftp host_addr get main.bin ROS-CF52_Main_v3.0.0.bin”.

Check the status of the download by running the version command.

Alternatively the download could also be started by the rsh command “rsh device_address–l admin tftp host_addr get main.bin ROS-CF52_Main_v3-0-0.bin”.
