Upgrading to a New Software Release
Upgrading from a PCMCIA Card
Upgrade the CSM from a removable Flash (PCMCIA) card inserted in the supervisor engine as follows:
Step 1
Enable the TFTP server to supply the image from the removable Flash card:
Router>
Router>
enable
Router#
conf t
Router(config)#
tftp-server slot
x
:c6slb-apc
.
revision-num
.
bin
where
x
= 0 if the PCMCIA card is installed in supervisor engine PCMCIA slot 0.
Step 2
Set up a session between the supervisor engine and the CSM:
Router#
session
CSM-
slot-number
0
Step 3
Load the image from the supervisor engine to the CSM:
CSM>
upgrade slot0:
c6slb-apc
.
revision-num
.
bin
Note
The supervisor engine can only be installed in chassis slot 1 or slot 2.
Step 4
Reboot the CSM by power cycling the CSM or by issuing the following commands on the supervisor
engine console:
router#
config t
Router (config)#
power cycle module
slot-number
Upgrading Over the Network
Upgrade the CSM from an external TFTP server as follows:
Step 1
Create a VLAN on the supervisor engine for the TFTP CSM runtime image download.
Note
It is possible to use an existing VLAN. However, for reliability in the download, create a VLAN
specifically for the TFTP connection.
Step 2
Configure the interface that is connected to your TFTP server.
Step 3
Add the interface to the VLAN.
Step 4
Enter the
ip slb vlan
command, as explained in the
“Configuring VLANs” section on page 21
, to make
the VLAN a client VLAN.
Step 5
Add an IP address to the VLAN for the CSM.
