Appendix A

PROM Upgrade Considerations

This appendix describes why you need to upgrade boot and diagnostic PROMs

and how to determine the version of the boot and diagnostic PROM images

currently running in your router. It also lists boot PROM upgrades for new feature

support.

On the back panel of some routers, a label displays the installed version of boot

and diagnostic PROMs. For example, an AN router with a SIMM-based flash file

system has a label that indicates the current PROM version number. See the guide

contained in the PROM upgrade kit (Updating PROM Components in AN and

ANH Routers) for more information.

Why You Upgrade Boot and Diagnostic PROMs

You upgrade boot PROMs in a router when you want to install new software or

hardware in the router that depends on the availability of the new router software

boot PROM image. For example, if you want to implement flash partitioning for

your AN router, you must upgrade the boot PROM image, anboot.exe, in that

router.

You upgrade diagnostic PROMs in routers when the diagnostic image version

number for the new release of router software is higher than the diagnostic image

version number for the router software currently installed on your router.
