Bundled Image Upgrade

First Published: January 8, 2009

Last Updated: May 12, 2009

 

The Cisco RF Gateway 10 (RFGW-10) is a Carrier Class Universal Edge Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (UEQAM) chassis that supports line cards, field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), complex programmable logic devices (CPLDs), and Supervisor cards. These devices can be upgraded to newer software or firmware versions.

Automated Bundled Image Upgrade

When the system boots up with the Supervisor image bundled with all the device images, the Supervisor card automatically compares the current versions of the software and firmware on all the line card devices. If the Supervisor identifies a device version that is not the same as what is currently bundled in its image, it delivers the device image to the line card and the line card upgrades the device. The user need not to perform any upgrade operations.

How to Upgrade the Line Card Image from the Bundle Image

Note When upgrading the old DS384 line card, it may take longer time due to the extra upgrade process dedicate for PERM QNX.

To perform image upgrade on individual line cards manually, the user needs to configure the "service internal" first. Under the service internal mode, one can perform the upgrades and inspect the upgrade status with the following procedures.

In all Cisco IOS releases prior to 3.2.0SQ, service internal is required for disabling automatic image upgrade of the line card. In Cisco IOS Release 3.2.0SQ and later releases, service internal is not required.

Configuring Line Card Image Upgrade

In Cisco IOS Release 3.2.0SQ and later releases, the user need not configure the no service internal command for the automatic image upgrade of the line card. The default no cable image-upgrade disable command is enabled on the Cisco RFGW-10 for automatic image upgrade of line cards.

To perform automatic image upgrade of the line card, use the no cable image-upgrade disable command in global configuration mode:

Router(config)# no cable image-upgrade disable
Router(config)#
 

To disable automatic image upgrade use the cable image-upgrade disable command.

Displaying the Upgrade Status of a Line Card

To display the upgrade status (number of bytes transferred, and so on) for a line card, use the following command in privileged EXEC mode:

Router# show cable image-upgrade status [slot]
 

The following example displays the upgrade status for the line card in slot 12:

Router# show cable image-upgrade status 12
No current image upgrade is occurring on slot 12

Displaying All the Device Image Versions

To display all the device image versions programmed on the FLASH of the line card, use the following command in privileged EXEC mode:

Router# show cable image-upgrade version [slot]
 

The following is sample output for the cable image-upgrade version 3 command in privileged EXEC mode:

Router# show cable image-upgrade version 3

Displaying the Upgraded Images of All the Devices on the Supervisor

To display the bundled images of all the devices, use the following command in user EXEC or privileged EXEC mode:

Router# show cable image-upgrade bundle
 

The following is sample output for the show cable image-upgrade bundle command in privileged EXEC mode:

Router# show cable image-upgrade bundle
