Chapter 12 Downloading Software and Firmware
Preparing the IPX/BPX Switch to Download Software or Firmware
Preparing the IPX/BPX Switch to Download Software or
Firmware
Before downloading software and firmware to a switch, use the Switch CLI (Command Line Interface)
to execute the following commands. This is required regardless of how the software image transfer will
be initiated.
Note The following procedures are applicable to IPX and BPX switches only.
Step 1 Access the Switch CLI by attaching a dumb terminal to the switch or telnet to the switch.
When you select the switch node from the CWM Network Topology window and then select the Node
menu’s Node Admin option, the CWM software telnets to the switch. A new terminal window is
displayed for your use.
Step 2 Enable the switch to allow downloading. From the Switch CLI, execute the following command:
cnffunc
Step 3 Use the Index column’s value for the Download From Remote StrataView entry in the following
command:
cnffunc <index> e
In the example, <index> would be set to 6. The “e” parameter specifies to enable the function. Once this
command is executed, the switch allows downloading from a CWM workstation, provided the latter is
connected to another switch in the same network.
Step 4 Invoke the following command when a redundant processor card is not installed.
cnfnodeparm
shows sample output from the cnfnodeparm command. When a redundant processor card (BCC, NPM,
or NPC) is not installed, you should set the parameter indicating the presence of a redundant processor
to No. In the command output, look for the number corresponding to the CC Redundancy Cnfged entry.
Step 5 Invoke the following command:
cnfnodeparm <number> N
When you have a redundant processor card and the value for the parameter CC Redundancy Cnfged is
Yes, you are requesting an image download into both processors (active and redundant).
Note If CC Redundancy Cnfged is Yes and no redundant processor card is present, the download is
suspended.
Step 6 Configure the switch to receive software or firmware images from the CWM workstation by invoking
the cnffwswinit command:
cnffwswinit <IP_addr_CWM_workstation>
Note The step above is required if you are using a CWM workstation to send the download request to the
switch.
