Transferring Customized Files to the Router and Upgrading PROMs
117404-A Rev. A 4-13
Upgrading and Verifying PROMs
You use the prom command from the Technician Interface to upgrade and verify
the software on the Diagnostic or Boot PROM. This command is restricted to the
Manager access level.
When you upgrade PROMs, the system erases the existing PROM and copies the
contents of the newer PROM image file to the PROM. To verify the PROM, the
system compares the contents of the new image file to the actual contents of the
PROM.
To upgrade and verify PROMs on a router, begin at the Technician Interface
prompt and complete the following steps:
1. Establish a Technician Interface session with the router.
Enter the following command at the Technician Interface prompt:
Manager
Refer to Using Technician Interface Software for more information on how to
open a Technician Interface session with the router.
2. Insert a flash card with contiguous free space sufficient to accommodate
the PROM images you want to upgrade on the router.
To determine the amount of contiguous free space, display the directory of the
flash volume by entering the following command from the Technician
Interface prompt:
dir
<volume_no.>
:
<volume_no.>
is the slot in which the flash card resides.
If you need more contiguous free space for the PROM image:
a. Delete unnecessary or obsolete files.
b. Compact the contents of the flash card by entering:
compact
<volume_no.>
:
The following message appears:
Note: Before upgrading any router software, make sure that you save a copy
of the original configuration file and boot image as a safeguard in case you
encounter problems after upgrading.
