6.4.3 Upgrading the Microcode
Warning
Do not proceed without familiarizing yourself with the process detailed in the
Installation Instructions for your specific upgrade. The process has been
designed to minimize the upgrade effort and to maximize network availability.
Use it.
The Installation Instructions are available from the same sources as the
microcode.
The general steps required to upgrade your IBM 8285 Nways ATM Workgroup
Switch are discussed below. However, be aware that the specific steps and
sequence vary for different upgrades. You can find the specific steps detailed in
the
Installation Instructions
for your upgrade.
1. Upload the files to your TFTP server. If using a UNIX server, be sure to set
the permissions properly using the chmod command:
chmod a+r <filename>
2. Upload your current configuration to the TFTP server to ensure that there is
a backup copy available.
Reminder
It is recommended that the following steps be performed with No
operational traffic flowing in through the 8285. Normally this operation
would be done during a scheduled maintenance period.
3. Download the new microcode from the TFTP server by issuing the
appropriate SET TFTP SERVER_IP_ADDRESSS, SET TFTP FILE_TYPE, SET
TFTP FILE_NAME, SET TFTP TARGET_MODULE, and DOWNLOAD INBAND
commands for each of the following:
•
BOOT microcode
•
OPERATIONAL microcode
•
FPGA microcode
For the 8285 Base Unit, the TARGET_MODULE will be 1.
