3. Log into CentOS shell and set permissions on the .BIN files to extract them.
root@vep0046-fvqqg02:~# chmod 777 Net*
4. Extract the .BIN files to a directory, Example (rNDC):
./< Network_Firmware_xx> --extract <dir>
root@vep0046-fvqqg02:~# ./Network_Firmware_YHF9V_LN_18.8.9_A00.BIN --extract rNDC
Successfully
extracted
to
rNDC
root@vep0046-fvqqg02:~# ./Network_Firmware_3W5Y5_LN_18.8.9_A00.BIN --extract rNDC
Successfully
extracted
to
rNDC
root@vep0046-fvqqg02:~#
5. cd to /rNDC directory and look for these two files:
a) BootIMG.flb – uncompressed firmware
b) Nvmupdate64e – utility to load firmware
6. Run nvmupdate64e and it will show all Intel NICs that are in the VEP4600
Example output:
root@vep0046-fvqqg02:~# cd rNDC
root@vep0046-fvqqg02:~/rNDC# ./nvmupdate64e
