Chapter 5 Managing and Troubleshooting the Universal Port Card
Upgrading SPE Firmware
Step 8 Verify that you successfully transferred the files to your local directory:
server% ls -al
total 596
-r--r--r-- 1 280208 Jul 10 18:08 np-spe-upw-1.0.1.2.bin
server% pwd
/auto/tftpboot
Step 9 Transfer these files to a local TFTP or RCP server that your gateway or router can access.
Copy the SPE Firmware File from Local TFTP Server to the SPEs
The procedure for copying the SPE firmware file from your local TFTP server to a universal port card
is a two-step process:
1. Transfer the SPE firmware to the gateway’s Flash memory.
2. Configure the SPEs to use the upgrade firmware.
The upgrade occurs automatically, either as you leave configuration mode or as specified in the
configuration.
These two steps are performed only once. After you copy the SPE firmware file into Flash memory for
the first time, you should not have to perform these steps again. Because the SPE firmware is
configurable for individual SPEs or ranges of SPEs, the Cisco IOS software automatically copies the
SPE firmware to each SPE each time the gateway restarts.
Transfer SPE Firmware to Flash Memory
Follow these steps to download the universal SPE firmware to Flash memory:
Step 1 Check the image in the gateway Flash memory:
AS5400# show flash
System flash directory:
File Length Name/status
1 4530624 c5350-js-mx
[498776 bytes used, 16278440 available, 16777216 total]
16384K bytes of processor board System flash (Read/Write)
Step 2 Enter the copy tftp flash command to download the code file from the TFTP server into the gateway
Flash memory. You are prompted for the download destination and the remote host name.
Note The system no longer asks you if you want to erase Flash memory before reloading it. SPE
firmware code is small; unlike with system images, you can sometimes hold more than one
version of SPE firmware in Flash memory.
If you do not have available space to copy the SPE firmware, during the copy operation the
system displays a message telling you to delete the current file and squeeze the Flash memory
to make room for the new image. Enter the delete flash:version command, followed by the
squeeze flash command, to perform this delete-and-squeeze operation. Then proceed with the
copy operation.
