Upgrading IONMM and/or NID Firmware – Web Method
The following describes the procedure for upgrading the firmware in the IONMM through the Web
Interface. If the IONMM is to be upgraded at the same time as other modules in the ION Chassis, see
Upgrading Slide-In and Remote Modules
Note
: Doing an IONMM / NID firmware upgrade may cause configuration backup files to be lost.
The steps involved include
A
. Verify the current IONMM / NID Firmware version,
B
. Locate the current
IONMM / NID Firmware version,
C
. Run the TFTP Server, and
D
, either 1. Upgrade IONMM / NID
Firmware from the
MAIN
tab, or 2. Upgrade IONMM / NID Firmware from the
UPGRADE
tab.
1)
Verify the Current IONMM / NID Firmware Version
Perform this procedure to display the current version of the IONMM firmware via the web interface.
1.
Access the IONMM via the Web interface (see “Starting the Web Interface”).
2.
Select the
MAIN
tab and locate the
Software Revision
area in the
Model Information
section.
(You can also use the
Help
dropdown and select
About ION System Web Interface
to determine
the current firmware version.)
3.
Note the current version of the x6010 NID or IONMM firmware for use in steps D1 and D2
below.
B. Locate and Download the New IONMM / NID Firmware Version
Perform this procedure to locate the IONMM Firmware version via the Web interface.
1.
Go to the Lantronix
2.
Locate the “
Agent Firmware
” section and examine the link in the right hand column (e.g.,
“
Download x6010_1.0.5_AP.bin
”).
3.
Compare the IONMM / NID version displayed in the
MAIN
tab
Software Revision
area with the
version number on the web site, and continue if the web site version is newer than the current
(running) version.
4.
Click the link located in step 1 above to download the new firmware files (e.g.
“C6010_0.6.7_AP.bin” and “C6010_0.6.7_FPGA_AP.bin”).
C. Run TFTP Server
This process requires a TFTP Server to load the new firmware.
Note
: A TFTP Server is not the same as an
FTP server; they use different protocols. You cannot connect to the TFTP Server with an FTP client.
1.
Install, run and configure the TFTP Server.
2.
Copy the file downloaded in step 4 above to the required TFTP Server location.
Note
: the upgrade file must be resident in the default directory on the TFTP server (normally
C:TFTP-Root
).
3.
Note the location of the downloaded file and its filename for use in steps D1 and D2 below.
