Firmware Update via SCP
Same as any BCM2 firmware update, all user management operations
are suspended and all login attempts fail during the SCP firmware
update. For details, see
Updating the BCM2 Firmware
(on page 314).
Warning: Do NOT perform the firmware upgrade over a wireless
network connection.
To update the firmware via SCP:
1. Type the following SCP command and press Enter.
scp <firmware file> <user name>@<device ip>:/fwupdate
<firmware file>
is the BCM2 firmware's filename. If the firmware
file is not in the current directory, you must include the path in
the filename.
<user name>
is the "admin" or any user profile with the
Firmware Update permission.
<device ip>
is the IP address of the BCM2 that you want to
update.
2. When the system prompts you to enter the password for the
specified user profile, type it and press Enter.
3. The system transmits the specified firmware file to the BCM2, and
shows the transmission speed and percentage.
4. When the transmission is complete, it shows the following message,
indicating that the BCM2 starts to update its firmware now. Wait until
the upgrade completes.
Starting firmware update. The connection will be closed
now.
