Upgrading the Controller Fabric Card
This section contains step-by-step instructions on how to upgrade the
chassis from the AT-SBx81CFC400 Controller Fabric Card to the AT-
SBx81CFC960 Card.
Caution
This procedure is disruptive to network operations because it
requires powering off the chassis. It should be performed during
periods of low network activity, such as during non-business hours,
to minimize the disruption to your network users.
To upgrade the chassis from the AT-SBx81CFC400 Controller Fabric
Card to the AT-SBx81CFC960 Card, perform the following procedure:
1. Start a local or remote management session with the active AT-
SBx81CFC400 Card in the chassis.
2. Insert a flash drive into the USB port on the AT-SBx81CFC400 Card in
the chassis. If the chassis has two controller cards, use the USB port
on the active master controller. To determine the status of the
controller cards, examine the CFC LEDs. The LEDs are solid green on
the active master card and solid amber on the inactive master card.
3. Wait ten seconds for the controller card to mount the flash drive.
4. Move from the User Exec mode to the Privileged Exec mode with the
ENABLE command:
awplus> enable
awplus#
5. Use the COPY command in the Privileged Exec mode to copy the
running configuration of the controller card to the flash drive.
The format of the COPY command for copying files to a flash drive is
shown here:
copy running-config usb:/ filename >
The filename parameter specifies a filename for the configuration file.
The filename must include the “.cfg” suffix.
This example of the command stores the configuration file in the root
directory of the flash drive and names it “Engineering_1.cfg”.
awplus# copy running-config usb:/Enginnering_1.cfg
6. Remove the flash drive from the controller card.
