Transferring Customized Files to the Router and Upgrading PROMs

303559-A Rev 00

4-13

For example, for a boot PROM, enter:

prom -v

<volume_no.>

:[freboot.exe

asnboot.exe

anboot.exe

arnboot.exe]

<slot_ID>

For a diagnostic PROM, enter:

prom -v

<volume_no.>

:[frediag.exe

asndiag.exe

andiag.exe

arndiag.exe]

<slot_ID>

The system verifies that the PROM image on a designated flash volume (that

is, the image file used as a source for upgrading the PROM) matches the

image actually stored in the boot or diagnostic PROM on the designated slot.

The console displays one of the following messages after the verification

terminates:

prom: slot <slot ID> completed successfully

prom: PROM data does not match file data on slot <slot ID>

If the operation succeeds, the new images stored in the boot and diagnostic

PROMs run when you reboot the router.

If the operation fails, the console displays a message describing the cause of

the failure.

Upgrading PROMs in a Router from a Remote Site

This section summarizes the procedure for upgrading PROMs in a router that is

located at a remote site. Be sure to read the special considerations in this section

before upgrading router PROMs remotely.

When upgrading PROMs in a router from a remote site, follow these guidelines to

ensure that the PROM upgrade is successful:

• Store the PROM executable files (for example, frediag.exe and freboot.exe) on

a flash card that resides on the router slot that you use the least.

• Perform the upgrade during off-peak hours to ensure a minimum traffic load

across all rails of the backplane (PPX

Caution:

If the PROM upgrade process is interrupted, the router could be

disabled.
