Upgrading switching processors on a chassis device

Use this procedure to upgrade the Switching Processors on the following types of modules:

•

Velocity Management Module (VM1)

•

OC-3, OC-12, and OC-48 non-Network Processor Architecture (NPA) POS modules

•

OC-48 NPA POS modules

•

ATM modules

To upgrade flash code on the Switching Processors.

1. Configure a read-write community string on the device, if one is not already configured. To configure a read-write community string, enter the following command from the global CONFIG level of the CLI: snmp-server community string ro | rw where string is the community string and can be up to 32 characters long.

2. On the device, enter the following command from the global CONFIG level of the CLI: no snmp-server pw-check

This command disables password checking for SNMP set requests. This command disables password checking for SNMP set requests. If password checking is enabled (the default) and a third-party SNMP management application does not add a password to the password field when it sends SNMP set requests to a device, the device rejects the request.

3. From the command prompt in the UNIX shell, enter the following command:

/usr/OV/bin/snmpset -c rw-community-string brcdIp-ip-addr brcdIp.1.1.2.1.5.0 ipaddress tftp-ip-addr brcdIp.1.1.2.1.6.0 octetstringascii file-name brcdIp.1.1.2.1.56.0 integer module-type brcdIp.1.1.2.1.57.0 integer slotnum brcdIp.1.1.2.1.7.0 integer command-integer where:

rw-community-string is a read-write community string configured on the device.

brcdIp-ip-addr is the device IP address.

tftp-ip-addr is the TFTP server’s IP address.

file-name is the image file name.

Upgrading switching processors on a chassis device

module-type is one of the following:

•

2 – VM1 module.

•

3 – OC-3, OC-12, and OC-48 non-Network Processor Architecture (NPA) POS modules.

•

4 – OC-48 NPA POS modules.

•

5 – ATM module.

slotnum is the slot that contains the module you are upgrading. To upgrade all modules of the

type you specified, enter 0 (zero):

command-integer is one of the following:

•

24 – Download the flash code into the device’s primary flash area.

•

25 – Download the flash code into the device’s secondary flash area.
