Upgrading the firmware
You can perform firmware upgrades using either FTP or TFTP.
To perform an upgrade:
1.
Place the firmware image file onto a system that provides an FTP or TFTP server and is accessible from
the SL-APM network.
2.
Log in to the SL-APM CLI interface using a serial port, Telnet, or SSH connection.
3.
Depending on which protocol you choose, enter either of the following commands:.
o
UPGRADE IMAGE FTP <ip_address> <"login_name"> <"password"> <"filename">
o
UPGRADE IMAGE TFTP <ip_address> <"filename">
where:
o
<ip_address> refers to the IP address of a server that contains the file to be transferred.
o
<"login_name"> refers to the FTP user name on the server hosting the file.
o
<"password"> refers to the password of the FTP user name.
o
<"filename"> refers to the file to be transferred. To preserve case, enclose <filename> in
quotes.
The login name, password, and filename must be in quotations. For example,
UPGRADE IMAGE FTP x.x.x.x "username" "alphabravo" "filename.bin"
Following the transfer, the SL-APM is automatically upgraded and reset to run the new image.
IMPORTANT:
If an upgrade is performed using either a Telnet or a SSH, the connection to the
SL-APM will be lost after the upgrade.
IMPORTANT:
If the firmware upgrade process is interrupted, then SL-APM reverts to the factory
default image.
NOTE:
If you downgrade the firmware or a firmware recovery is performed, syntax error
messages might appear as the module initializes with its previously-saved configuration. You can
ignore these messages.
