EMOTE UPGRADE OF THE OPERATIONAL SOFTWARE (OSW)
To remotely upgrade the operational software, follow these steps:
1. From the PC/workstation, Telnet to the CyberSWITCH and login as admin.
2. Verify that the system is ready to receive TFTP upgrades:
Enter MANAGE MODE by typing
manage
<RET> at the system prompt.
•Using the MANAGE MODE command
tftp
, verify that:
TFTP feature is enabled
TFTP server is enabled
TFTP server is assigned ADMIN file access rights
•Using the MANAGE MODE command
fileattr
, verify that:
ADMIN has READ/WRITE access to CONFIG files
ADMIN has READ/WRITE access to OTHER files
Exit MANAGE MODE by typing
exit
<RET>.
3. Using the TFTP client on the remote workstation, TFTP the UPGRADE.OSW file to the
CyberSWITCH in binary mode. Be sure to include the file’s full pathname (for example:
D:\CSX1204\US\IPIPX\UPGRADE.OSW). The exact method to transfer varies, depending
upon your TFTP client.
Note: If you experience a transmission timeout, check the retransmission setting on the TFTP
package. A retransmission rate of 10 seconds is usually sufficient; values less than that
may not work properly.
