– SW Upgrade
The EtherHaul system supports switching, in real time, between two software versions.
The EtherHaul maintains an Active (running) and an Offline (standby) software versions
(banks) that allows software upgrade with minimum service interruption.
The software upgrade process consists of 3 steps:
1)
Download. Transferring the new software file to the system (to the offline
software bank).
2)
Upgrade. Switching the active status between the banks so the downloaded
software becomes active.
3)
Accept. Use timeout to verify that the new active software performs as
expected and accept the upgrade to make it permanent.
The
SW Upgrade
section displays the software versions currently resides in the banks
and their status (Active or Offline).
The software download is done using an external FTP/TFTP/SFTP server. Refer to
server's configuration as defined in the
File Transfer
section.
This section allows configuring the following parameters:
SW File Name – The name of the software file to download.
Accept Timeout [Sec] – time out in seconds in which the new software should be
accepted. If the new software is not accepted within the timeout period, the
system will reset and rollback to the previously active software. It is
recommended to use 600 seconds timeout whenever upgrading a software.
