Upgrade using the CLI

Pre-requisites:

Download the firmware files to upgrade from the download server for 1G copper, 1G fiber, or 10G fiber.
Create a folder for each module and upload the folders to the /root/tftpboot directory on the TFPT server. For example, for a 10G fiber, create a folder fw3.3.6_10G and copy the related files including the update.desc file in the folder.

Steps:

Run the update command. Syntax for the update command is:

update <IP address of the TFTP server> <module name>

For example:

update 1.1.1.1 fw3.3.6_10G
update 1.1.1.1 fw3.3.6_1G_Fi
update 1.1.1.1 fw3.3.6_1G_Cu
