Moving Firmware Across a Network from NCM to NCM
The NCM File Transfer Facility enables you to download a flash file
from the local node NCM RAM to a remote node NCM RAM. Use this
procedure only after first using FTP to get the new firmware into
the NCM, as outlined under
“Upgrading NCM Firmware” above.
This section provides a sample session using Telnet to move an
upgrade file from a workstation on the LAN to the local NCM. From
there, the file is pulled from the remote node destined to receive
the upgrade.
From the remote NCM, the file can be broadcast to modules in the
remote node, using the procedure in the section below:
