1.2 .1.2 Copying the Distribution Files on your workstation

1 Insert the distribution diskette part number 26L0255 in the workstation. 2 Copy from the diskette to the directory where you want the microcodes to reside, the following

files:

A-CPSW boot microcode, file name: BOOTV319.BIN.



A-CPSW FPGA picocode, file name: SWPGAB52.ENC.

3 Remove the distribution diskette part number 26L0255 from the workstation. 4 Insert the distribution diskette part number 26L0256 in the workstation. 5 Copy from the diskette to the directory where you want the microcodes to reside, the following

files:

A-CPSW operational microcode, file name: 8260V319.OPE.



6 Remove the distribution diskette part number 26L0256 from the workstation. 7 On an AIX Workstation make sure that the files can be read by all users :



Set the path to the microcode files directory



Enter: chmod a+r BOOTV319.BIN



Enter: chmod a+r 8260V319.OPE



Enter: chmod a+r SWPGAB52.ENC

1.2 .2 Code download from the Web

The code upgrade files posted on the Web are available to upgrade (or restore) a CPSW. They consist of the boot and operational microcodes, the FPGA and MIB codes, so that text files in plain text or PDF (Acrobat reader) format.

June 17 1998EC : F34705PN : 26L0227



Installation Instructions

These files must be placed in a directory reachable through TFTP, like /tmp for a Unix/AIX station, so that In-Band download toward the CPSW can be performed.

After package file has been downloaded and unzipped, on an AIX Workstation make sure that the files can be read by all users :

Enter: chmod a+r 8260V319.OPE Enter: chmod a+r SWPGAB52.ENC

path to the microcode files

directory

1.3 In-Band download method

You need to perform an inband download operation, using either:

Classical IP mode. Make sure that your ATM network is configured for IP Over ATM (RFC 1577). To configure your ATM network for IP over ATM:

1 Connect an ARP server to the ATM network. The ARP server will be used to map IP

addresses to ATM addresses.

2 For each A-CPSW module verify that the following parameters are configured:

ATM address of the ARP server

IP address and IP mask of the A-CPSW

IP address of the default gateway

3 Verify the IP connectivity to the ARP server by entering a PING command for each A-CPSW

module.

4 Verify the IP connectivity to the TFTP server by entering a PING command for each A-CPSW

module.

Ethernet or Token Ring LAN-Emulation mode Make sure your network is configured in Ethernet or Token Ring LAN-Emulation. To configure your network in Ethernet or Token Ring LAN-Emulation :

1. You must have an Ethernet or Token Ring LAN-Emulation Server configured and ready.

You can use the local LES of the 8260.

2. You must configure the Ethernet or Token Ring LAN-Emulation Client on your 8260.

3. You must have a TFTP Server somewhere in the IP network (either on the Emulated LAN,

either behind an IP Gateway), and the microcode files installed on that TFTP Server.

Installation Instructions

4. Check that you can PING the TFTP server from the 8260 LEC.

Serial Line IP support (SLIP) mode.Make sure your workstation can act as a TFTP server .

1. Set up a A-CPSW Configuration Console in SLIP Mode:

2. Then configuring the SLIP interface on the TFTP workstation will allow you to perform Inband

Download between your workstation and the A-CPSW.

3. The SLIP connection will be broken after a reset of the A-CPSW and connection will be

operational in normal mode.

1.4 Out of Band Download method



FPGA picocode cannot be downloaded using this method, only boot and operational.



Download can only be performed on active CPSW.

Once you have the code on your A-disk or hard disk, and you have connected your PC on the RS232 port, using an RS232 emulated terminal, you have to type the following commands on the command line:

MAINTAIN

DOWNLOAD OUT-OF-BAND BOOT (or OPERATIONAL)

You then have to choose the Xmodem protocol and select the path where your code is located.

Note: This method is not recommended since it takes more time than the In-Band method.

2 Upgrading the 8260

YOU SHOULD MIGRATE YOUR NETWORK CLUSTER BY CLUSTER AND YOU SHOULD DOWNLOAD THE FPGA CODE AND MICROCODE ON ALL YOUR 8260 AND 8285 SWITCHES (in the cluster) BEFORE PERFORMING ANY SWAP COMMAND.

Note that interoperability between v.2.x.x clusters and v.3.x.x peer groups is possible through NNI/IISP respectively.



IMPORTANT The following steps are showing an example of Inband Download. You may log in to the A-CPSW console either locally using an ASCII terminal connected to the A-CPSW console port, or remotely using a TELNET session. PLEASE, READ WHAT FOLLOWS CAREFULLY :

1. If you have only one A-CPSW (no redundant) follow the steps 1 to 4 then the steps 6 to 8.

2. If you have two A-CPSWs modules (one redundant A-CPSW) follow the steps 1 to 5 for main

A-CPSW and the steps 2 to 4 then 6 for redundant A-CPSW .Then follow the steps 6, 7 and 8 on main A-CPSW (see upgrade synopsis).

2.1 Step 1: Saving Configuration before the upgrade

It is recommended to perform the following steps with NO OPERATIONAL TRAFFIC flowing in your ATM campus network. Typically, this would be scheduled as part of a maintenance period. You should save all your configuration parameters before. Before you begin the upgrade procedure we recommend to upload the configuration of each 8260 in your network :

1 Setup the TFTP parameters by entering the following commands:

SET TFTP SERVER_IP_ADDRESS <ip address of the TFTP server>



SET TFTP FILE_TYPE CONFIGURATION



SET TFTP FILE_NAME



Provide the full path of the file when prompted

2 Start the upload inband procedure by entering: UPLOAD
