BCM50 Hardware & Installation
72 NN40011-002 Issue 1.2 BCM50 Rls 6.0
Upgrading to BCM Rls 6.0
Any previous version of the BCM50 can be upgraded to BCM Rls 6.0.
However, BCM50 Rls 1.0 systems should first be upgraded to BCM Rls 3.0
before performing the 6.0 upgrade. Upgrading directly from BCM Rls 2.0, 3.0
and 5.0 to BCM Rls 6.0 is supported.
In addition to the BCM Rls 6.0 upgrade files, the process will also require the
application of the BCM Rls 6.0 Factory Image. This ensures that if a Software
Reset is performed (refer to the BCM Command Line Interface section of
this guide) the BCM will not revert to its previous software level. If upgrading
from Rls 1.0 to Rls 3.0 to Rls 6.0, the Rls 3.0 Factory Image should also be
applied after the Rls 1.0 to Rls 3.0 upgrade has been performed.
Note: When upgrading a BCM50a/ba or BCM50e/be system, the router card
is not upgraded using the process described in this section.
Note: When the upgrade files have been transferred to the BCM and the files
are being applied, the BCM services will be unavailable until after the upgrade
has been completed.
Note: As with all BCM upgrades, please consult the accompanying Release
Notes for any specific instructions.
