Loading Boot Firmware
The X-Pedition boots using the Boot Firmware installed in its internal memory. To upgrade the
Boot Firmware and boot using the upgraded image, use the following procedure.
1.
Enter the system show version command to display the current boot settings.
Note:
A “slot0:boot” location indicates that the X-Pedition is set to use the factory-installed
software in the motherboard’s internal flash chip.
2.
Copy the boot firmware upgrade you want to install onto a TFTP server that the X-Pedition can
access. Use the ping command to verify that the X-Pedition can reach the TFTP server.
3.
Use the system promimage upgrade command to copy the boot firmware upgrade into the
X-Pedition’s internal memory. When this procedure is complete, the phrase “Programming
complete” appears on the screen.
4.
To verify that the new Boot Firmware is on the X-Pedition’s internal memory, reboot the router
and enter the system show version command.
Note:
Until you reboot the router, entering the system show version command will display the
old bootprom version.
