The MGX 8230 PXM now has a boot-level IP address. Remember to repeat the bootChange command
on the redundant MGX 8230 PXM if the system has one.
Step 3
Enter reboot to reset the MGX 8230 PXM.
The MGX 8230 PXM is ready to receive a firmware image through the Ethernet port. Use the
workstation for the next steps.
Step 4
At the workstation, you can optionally ping the MGX 8230 PXM using the IP address to confirm that
the node is reachable.
Step 5
Establish communication with the MGX 8230 PXM according to the user-communication device type.
For example, at the prompt on a UNIX workstation, you could enter:
>tip -9600 /dev/ttya
The device specification could also be ttyb.
Step 6
Enter the tftp command with the IP address set at the ASCII terminal. For example, if the console port
is connected to the serial port of the workstation:
$tftp 162.29.38.101
Step 7
At the tftp prompt, enter binary mode:
>bin
Step 8
From the directory where the firmware resides, enter the put command and include the arguments that
specify the firmware release number, the statement that this firmware applies to the active MGX 8230
PXM, and the release directory.
If necessary, refer to the release notes for new firmware release numbers. The entries are case-sensitive.
For example:
>put pxm_release_number.fw POPEYE@PXM_ACTIVE.FW
where release_number is a decimal number in the form n.n.nn. Currently, the initial n typically is a “1.”
An example filename for MGX 8230 PXM firmware is “pxm_1.0.03.” Note that the download
automatically includes the firmware for the standby MGX 8230 PXM (if present). You can subsequently
see POPEYE@PXM_STANDBY.FW in c:/FW.
Check the console to verify that the transfer completed and the checksum passed.
Step 9
Quit the ftp application, then go to the ASCII terminal connected to the control port:
>quit
Step 10
At the ASCII terminal, cd to FW directory on the hard drive.
Step 11
List the contents to confirm that the firmware resides in the FW directory:
>cd “c:/FW”
>ll
Note these required quote marks are absent when you use the CLI after you reboot the MGX 8230 PXM
with its run-time image (see “
Configuring Node-Level Parameters
”).
