Inband Operations
To upgrade ATM microcode, ATM network administrators perform inband operations
from a server connected to a ONcore hub, using a workstation connected to the
6416SW module as the 6416SW console. After locating the directory where the
microcode updates are stored, log on using the administrator password and perform
one of the following operations:
Upgrade 6416SW microcode.
Upgrade hardware picocode in the Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) of the
6416SW and ATM media modules.
Upgrading 6416SW Microcode
To upgrade 6416SW microcode, enter the following 6416SW commands:
1. SET TFTP SERVER_IP_ADDRESS (to define the server where the microcode is
stored)
2. SET TFTP FILE_NAME (to define the path name of the file on the server)
3. SET TFTP FILE_TYPE (to specify boot or operational microcode)
4. DOWNLOAD INBAND (to load the 6416SW microcode).
5. SWAP MICROCODE (to reboot the 6416SW module with the new code).
