The FPGA images installed must be compatible with the software version you are running on the router.
Compatibility of FPGA images to software versions is provided in the relevant Multi-Service IronWare release
notes.
Overview of Tasks in the FPGA Image Upgrade Process
To upgrade the FPGA images on the interface modules, you must perform the following general steps:
1.
Determine the versions of the images currently installed on the interface modules.
For information about performing this task, see “Determining the FPGA Image Versions” on page 7-21
2.
Copy the new image from a source to a destination.
The source from which to copy the new image is usually a TFTP server to which the router has access or a
flash card in the management module’s slot 1 or 2. The destination to which to copy the new image can be
one of the following:
•
All slots in the chassis
•
All slots with a specified Module type
•
A specific slot number
You can choose to upgrade FPGA Images in either of two ways:
•
You can upgrade all LP FPGA images at the same time. For information about performing this task,
see“Upgrading all FPGA Images for all Interface Modules at the Same Time” on page 7-24.
•
You can upgrade FPGA images one image at a time. For information about performing this task, see
“Upgrading the FPGA Images One Image at a Time” on page 7-24.
3.
Reboot the interface module upon which you upgraded the FPGA images.
Determining the FPGA Image Versions
To display the versions of the FPGA images currently installed on the Gigabit Ethernet modules, enter the
following command at any level of the CLI:
NetIron#
show flash
