DuraMAR 2150 – User’s Manual
Using the integrated CISCO router for hosting controller system image
files.
Downloading a new image might be quite difficult if the ECC is configured to operate in Bridge Mode. In this
configuration the HSDPA interface can’t be used by the ECC itself so users, setting the appropriate static
routes, must download the new image from a remote host through the slow GPRS interface or from a local
host connected to the CISCO Ethernet interface. The latter option is not a viable solution in Dynamic Bridge
Mode configuration.
Under these circumstances it might be useful, at first, to download the image file on the flash memory of the
CISCO router, that can use the HSDPA interface, and then, make this file available through the IOS
integrated HTTP server.
The steps to perform on the CISCO router are:
•
Copy from a remote server the image file (.eff) and its MD5 cecksum file (.md5). The IOS
copy
command
can copy a file from a remote host using different protocols like HTTP, FTP, TFTP, SSH and
RSH.
•
Configure and enable the embedded HTTP server:
ip http authentication local
ip http path flash:
ip http server
•
Define a local user with privilege access 15
user upgrade secret upgrade
user upgrade privilege 15
At this point you can install the new system image issuing, on the controller, the
upgradefrom
command.
For example:
upgradefrom http://upgrade:upgrade@ip-address/duramar2150-1.0.1.eff
