Firmware Upgrade
Overview
The Hotwire 6351 ReachDSL Router supports a TFTP client for the purpose of
firmware upgrades within the service domain. The Network Service Provider
(NSP) can initiate upgrades for the ReachDSL Router using CLI commands from
the local console or through Telnet access.
Firmware Upgrade Commands

Performs a firmware download for the specified interface, TFTP server IP address, and

address of the Ethernet interface, if one is configured.

NOTE: The server must be accessible within the service domain and a route must exist
for the TFTP session to become active.
