6.1
Updating the Software
The sRB-20210G is designed to run on a continual basis without significant maintenance.
However, from time to time, you may need to install updated software or modify device
configuration. The sRB-20210G stores a software image (along with configuration files, log
files, and other information) on a local file system. This file system is stored on an internal
flash memory.
If you plan to use the CLI update software command to update the sRB-20210G software from
a remote FTP, be sure to set the FTP server name and IP address through the FTP server
command and be sure the necessary file is located on the FTP server.
To update sRB-20210G software, perform the following steps:
Step 1
Make sure that the FTP server is active, and located in the same subnet as the sRB-20210G
management port subnet.
Step 2
Copy the new version files from the installation CD to the FTP root directory.
