This document describes how to download the new ROMMON image from Cisco.com and then upgrade the ROMMON on the Cisco RF Gateway 10 (RFGW-10) Universal Edge Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (EQAM) platform.
We recommend that you refer to the latest ROMMON image.
This document consists of the following:
This ROMMON image consists of a new ROMMON software image and a new FPGA image. Both are installed by following the ROMMON upgrade procedure listed below. These images are only accepted on Cisco RFGW-10 Supervisor engine.
Caution | If your Supervisor engine is shipped with a newer version of ROMMON then do not downgrade! The new ROMMON will have board settings based on a hardware revision of components, and old settings will not work. |
Table 1 provides the list of ROMMON software releases supported in various Cisco IOS Releases for the RFGW-10, along with the ROMMON image filename. To upgrade the Supervisor Engine, download the appropriate Cisco ROMMON release from Cisco.com using the below information.

Caution | To avoid actions that might make your system unable to boot, read this entire section before starting the upgrade. |
Follow this procedure to upgrade your Supervisor engine ROMMON:
Step 1 | Directly connect a serial cable to the console port of the
Supervisor engine.
| ||
Step 2 | Download the RFGW-10 ROMMON image,
RFGW-X4516-10GE-RMUW-122_31r_SQ1, from Cisco.com, and place it on a TFTP server
in a directory that is accessible from the Supervisor that is upgraded
The ROMMON image, RFGW-X4516-10GE-RMUW-122_31r_SQ1, is available at the same location from which you download Cisco RFGW-10 system images on Cisco.com. | ||
Step 3 | Use the dir bootflash: command to ensure that sufficient space
exists in Flash memory to store the ROMMON upgrade image.
If you are using a CompactFlash card, replace bootflash: with slot0: | ||
Step 4 | Download the RFGW-X4516-10GE-RMUW-122_31r_SQ1 program into Flash
memory using the copy tftp command.
The following example shows how to download the PROM upgrade image RFGW-X4516-10GE-RMUW-122_31r_SQ1 from the remote host 172.20.58.78 to bootflash: Example: Switch# copy tftp: bootflash: Address or name of remote host [172.20.58.78]? Source filename [RFGW-X4516-10GE-RMUW-122_31r_SQ1]? Destination filename [RFGW-X4516-10GE-RMUW-122_31r_SQ1]? Accessing tftp://172.20.58.78/RFGW-X4516-10GE-RMUW-122_31r_SQ1... Loading RFGW-X4516-10GE-RMUW-122_31r_SQ1 from 172.20.58.78 (via FastEthernet2/1):!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!! [OK - 434828 bytes] CCCCCCCCCCCCC 434828 bytes copied in 4.276 secs (101690 bytes/sec) Switch# | ||
Step 5 | On a dual-Supervisor system, copy the same ROMMON image to the standby Supervisor engine with the copy bootflash:RFGW-X4516-10GE-RMUW-122_31r_SQ1 slavebootflash command. | ||
Step 6 | Enter the
reload command to reset the switch, press
Ctrl-C to stop the boot process, then re-enter ROMMON mode.
The following example shows the output after a reset into ROMMON: Example: Switch# reload Proceed with reload? [confirm] 03:57:16:%SYS-5-RELOAD:Reload requested Rom Monitor Program Version 12.1(12r)EW . .(output truncated) . Established physical link 1Gb Full Duplex Network layer connectivity may take a few seconds rommon 1 > | ||
Step 7 | Run the PROM upgrade program by entering this command:boot
bootflash:RFGW-X4516-10GE-RMUW-122_31r_SQ1
The following example shows the output from a successful upgrade, followed by a system reset: Example: rommon 1 >b bootflash:RFGW-X4516-10GE-RMUW-122_31r_SQ1 ********************************************************** * * * Rom Monitor Upgrade Utility For WS-X4516-10GE System * * * * Copyright (c) 2003-2006 by Cisco Systems, Inc. * * All rights reserved. * * * ********************************************************** Upgrading Image...

Step 8 | Boot the Cisco IOS software image. This may happen automatically if the system is configured to auto-boot. | ||
Step 9 | On a redundant system, hook up a console to the now-standby Supervisor engine. After the system achieves an SSO state, repeat steps 6-8. | ||
Step 10 | Use the show version command to verify that you have upgraded the
ROMMON:

Step 11 | Use the delete command on the active Supervisor to delete the
PROM upgrade program from bootflash.
The following example shows how to delete RFGW-X4516-10GE-RMUW-122_31r_SQ1 image from bootflash: Example: Switch# delete bootflash:RFGW-X4516-10GE-RMUW-122_31r_SQ1 | ||
Step 12 | On a redundant system, also delete the upgrade file from the
standby Supervisor engine.
Example: Switch# delete slavebootflash:RFGW-X4516-10GE-RMUW-122_31r_SQ1 The ROMMON has now been upgraded. |
