Inband Operations
To upgrade ATM microcode, ATM network administrators perform inband operations from a server
connected to an 8265, using a workstation connected to the CPSW module as the CPSW console. After
locating the directory where the microcode updates are stored, log on using the administrator password
and perform one of the following operations:
Ÿ Upgrade CPSW microcode.
Ÿ Upgrade hardware picocode in the Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) of the CPSW and media
modules.
Upgrading CPSW Microcode:
To upgrade CPSW microcode, enter the following CPSW
commands:
1. SET TFTP SERVER_IP_ADDRESS (to define the server where the microcode is stored)
2. SET TFTP FILE_NAME (to define the path name of the file on the server)
3. SET TFTP FILE_TYPE (to specify boot or operational microcode)
4. DOWNLOAD INBAND (to load the CPSW microcode).
5. SWAP MICROCODE (to reboot the CPSW module with the new code).
Upgrading FPGA Picocode in ATM Modules:
To upgrade hardware picocode in the FPGA of
CPSW and media modules, enter the following commands at the directory prompt:
1. SET TFTP SERVER_IP_ADDRESS (to define the server where the picocode is stored)
2. SET TFTP FILE_NAME (to define the file on the server)
3. SET TFTP FILE_TYPE (to specify FPGA)
4. SET TFTP TARGET_MODULE (to specify the slot number of the CPSW or media module)
5. DOWNLOAD INBAND (to load new hardware picocode)
6. SWAP FPGA_PICOCODE (to change the picocode in the CPSW or media module). If the swap is for
a CPSW module, this causes an automatic reset of the ATM subsystem.
Uploading Dumps:
To upload a dump to the host, enter the following CPSW commands at the
directory prompt:
1. DUMP PNNI topology_data_base (to take a dump of the topology of the network)
2. SET TFTP SERVER_IP_ADDRESS (to define the server connected to the CPSW module)
3. SET TFTP FILE_NAME (to define the path name of the file on the host)
4. SET TFTP FILE_TYPE (to specify a dump)
5. UPLOAD INBAND (to upload the dump).
