2.3.4 Firmware Update

For CLI:
If you want to update firmware code, you must get image file from FTP Server.
Suppose that FTP Server IP address is 172.16.10.219 and the image filename is
‘vmlinux_u2402_ 1.00B05’.

Example:
1. Firmware update:

enable //go to enable mode
configure
//go to configuration mode
firmware login
172.16.10.219 username share password tg123
firmware upgrade vmlinux_u2402_1.00B05

(Firmware upgrade may take a few minutes, don’t turn off or reset the system
during the process. You can get status using command ‘show firmware status’ in
Enable execution mode.)

exit //back to enable mode
show firmware status

(When status returns “Upgraded already!”, you can restart the system to run
new firmware image. Once you upgrade successfully, you can’t upgrade the
second time unless you have restarted the system.)

show firmware partition //show partition information

Current Version:1.00B05
Partition Version Date Status
-------------------------------------------
1 1.00B05 2007/07/05 --
2 1.00B05 2007/07/10 Active

(Note: the ‘Active’ status of the firmware partition information means the active
partition for next time restart, not current running partition. You can see which
partition is current running partition by referring to the Current Version. )

2. The IDL-2402 provides two firmware memory partitions. If you want to change the
firmware partition for booting, use the following commands (if you change to the
non-active partition, system will restart immediately):

enable //go to enable mode
configure //go to configuration mode
firmware partition <number>
//select partition 1 or 2 for next power-on
