6.4.3 Upgrading the Microcode

Warning

Do not proceed without familiarizing yourself with the process detailed in the
Installation Instructions for your specific upgrade. The process has been
designed to minimize the upgrade effort and to maximize network availability.
Use it.

The Installation Instructions are available from the same sources as the
microcode.

The general steps required to upgrade your IBM 8285 Nways ATM Workgroup
Switch are discussed below. However, be aware that the specific steps and
sequence vary for different upgrades. You can find the specific steps detailed in
the

Installation Instructions for your upgrade.

1. Upload the files to your TFTP server. If using a UNIX server, be sure to set

the permissions properly using the chmod command:

chmod a+r

2. Upload your current configuration to the TFTP server to ensure that there is

a backup copy available.

Reminder

It is recommended that the following steps be performed with No
operational traffic flowing in through the 8285. Normally this operation
would be done during a scheduled maintenance period.

3. Download the new microcode from the TFTP server by issuing the

appropriate SET TFTP SERVER_IP_ADDRESSS, SET TFTP FILE_TYPE, SET
TFTP FILE_NAME, SET TFTP TARGET_MODULE, and DOWNLOAD INBAND
commands for each of the following:

BOOT microcode

OPERATIONAL microcode

FPGA microcode

For the 8285 Base Unit, the TARGET_MODULE will be 1.
