Introduction

This document provides a step-by-step procedure on how to upgrade Network Analysis Module (NAM) software to release 3.x.

Prerequisites

Requirements

Ensure that you meet these requirements before you attempt this configuration:

  • Familiarity with File Transfer Protocol (FTP)

  • Familiarity with Catalyst switch administration from the command line

Components Used

The information in this document is based on these software and hardware versions:

  • WS-X6380 (original NAM)

  • NAM version 3.0 software

  • NAM-1 and NAM-2 hardware devices

  • Catalyst 6505 that runs CatOS 7.3.1

The information in this document was created from the devices in a specific lab environment. All of the devices used in this document started with a cleared (default) configuration. If your network is live, make sure that you understand the potential impact of any command.

Upgrade the NAM Software to Version 3.x

Task

This section presents the information to upgrade the NAM software to version 3.x.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Complete these steps in order to upgrade your software:

  1. Download the file:

  2. Place the file in the root directory of the account on the FTP server you intend to use.

    Note: This illustration uses WS-X6380-NAM, but it applies to both WS-SVC-NAM-1 and WS-SVC-NAM-2.

    This example uses this information:

    • FTP server is:

      • Name: rtp-sycamore.cisco.com

      • Address: 172.18.123.68

    • Account ID is cse.

    • Account password is csecse.

    • Root directory for cse is : ~ rtp-sycamore cse %4> pwd /local/home/cse.

    • The file is listed there, thus it is: /local/home/cse/c6nam.3-1-1.bin.gz.

      ~ rtp-sycamore cse %4>ls -al c6nam.3-1-1.bin.gz -rw-r--r-- 1 cse other 75671244 May 28 11:17 c6nam.3-1-1.bin.gz

  3. In order to verify that the FTP server functions, test to see if this FTP server is accessible from ANOTHER workstation:

    Note: The rtp-cse-205 is used as an example here.

    rtp-cse-205_oansari-> ftp rtp-sycamore
Connected to rtp-sycamore.cisco.com.
220 rtp-sycamore FTP server (SunOS 5.7) ready.
Name (rtp-sycamore:oansari): cse
331 Password required for cse.
Password: csecse
230 User cse logged in.
Remote system type is UNIX.
Using binary mode to transfer files.

  4. When you access the FTP server, make sure the file is available: 

    ftp> ls c6nam.3-1-1.bin.gz
227 Entering Passive Mode (172,18,123,68,222,205)
150 ASCII data connection for /bin/ls (64.102.51.64,35372) (0 bytes).
-rw-r--r-- 1 cse other 75671244 May 28 11:17 c6nam.3-1-1.bin.gz
226 ASCII Transfer complete.

    When you verify that the file is present and available, you increase confidence that the file transfer to the NAM will be successful. This confirms that the FTP service runs and the necessary file is available for download to an FTP client.

  5. Start the steps to upgrade the NAM. This is an example:

    1. Check the module:

      nms-6506a> (enable) sh mod
...

Mod Slot Ports Module-Type               Model               Sub Status
--- ---- ----- ------------------------- ------------------- --- --------
1   1    2     1000BaseX Supervisor      WS-X6K-SUP1A-2GE    yes ok
15  1    1     Multilayer Switch Feature WS-F6K-MSFC         no  ok
2   2    0     FlexWAN Module            WS-X6182-2PA        no  power-down

4   4    2     Network Analysis Module   WS-X6380-NAM        no  ok
5   5    8     1000BaseX Ethernet        WS-X6408-GBIC       no  ok
6   6    48    10/100BaseTX Ethernet     WS-X6348-RJ-45      yes ok

      The output shows that the NAM of interest is located in slot 4, and the status is ok.

    2. Check the version of the CatOS switch:

      nms-6506a> (enable) sh ver
WS-C6506 Software, Version NmpSW: 7.3(1)

      Note: The version must be 7.3(1) or later. If your switch is not to this version, DO NOT PROCEED TO UPGRADE THE NAM. FIRST UPGRADE THE SWITCH SOFTWARE.

    3. If the version indicated is 7.3(1) or later, then reset the NAM:

      nms-6506a> (enable) reset 4 hdd:2
This command will reset module 4.
Unsaved configuration on module 4 will be lost
Do you want to continue (y/n) [n]? y
Module 4 shut down in progress, do not remove module until shutdown completed.
nms-6506a> (enable)

      Note: For NAM1/NAM2 you must use these commands: reset <module> cf:1.

      You see this output on the terminal:

      2003 May 28 11:28:36 %SNMP-5-ENTITYMODTRAP:Module 4 status

    4. Make sure the NAM reboots successfully:

      nms-6506a> (enable) sh mod 4
Mod Slot Ports Module-Type Model Sub Status
--- ---- ----- ------------------------- ------------------- --- --------

!--- Yes, it is up again.

    5. Session into the NAM and issue the upgrade command:

      nms-6506a> (enable) sess 4
Trying NAM-4...
Connected to NAM-4.
