3 1. Overview 1.1. Overview of upgrading You can upgrade the software in one of two ways: from a remote operation terminal or from an SD card. After upgrading, the software inherits configuration information, user information (login account and password), and option license information without change. For details on how to upgrade the software when the equipment uses VLAN tunneling, see Chapter 3. (1) Upgrading from a remote operation terminal From a remote operation terminal such as a PC, transfer the upgrade file to the equipment (1 in figure; see also 2.2), and then execute the ppupgrade upgrade command (2 in figure; see also 2.4). PC IPv4/IPv6 network Equipment 1 Transfer upgrade file (ftp). 2 Log in, and execute the upgrade command (ppupgrade). (2) Upgrading from an SD card Insert an SD card containing the upgrade file into the equipment (1 in figure), copy the file from the SD card to the equipment (2 in figure; see also 2.3), and then execute the ppupgrade upgrade command (3 in figure; see also 2.4). Console terminal Serial cable Equipment 2 Copy file on card to equipment. 3 Log in, and execute the upgrade command (ppupgrade). 1 Insert the SD card. SD card SD card containing the upgrade file Use this procedure if IP communication cannot be performed because of VLAN tunneling. 3

4 1.2. Preparation for upgrading Before you transfer the upgrade file to the equipment and execute the ppupgrade command, make sure that the conditions shown in Table 1-2 are satisfied. Table 1-2: Conditions for upgrading No. Upgrading type Conditions Action to satisfy condition 1 Upgrading from a remote operation terminal A remote operation terminal (such as a PC) can access the equipment via a network using IPv4 or IPv6. Prepare a remote operation terminal, and connect it to a network so that it can communicate with the equipment 2 FTP (client) software has been installed on the remote operation terminal so that files can be written (put) to the equipment. 3 The configuration information on the equipment has been set so that the remote operation terminal can perform an FTP transfer to the equipment. 4 A user ID and password for the equipment have been set. 5 A remote operation terminal or a console can log in to the equipment whose software is to be upgraded. 6 Upgrading from an SD card A console terminal can log in to the equipment. 7 Common Flash memory sufficient for transferring the upgrade file is available. The minimum amount of flash memory needed is the difference between the sizes of old and new files. You can check the size of a file by executing the following command: ls -l file-name using the Internet protocol. Install FTP client software on the remote operation terminal. (In Windows, you can also use the FTP program provided by the operating system.) Define ftp-server in the configuration information. If access lists have been defined in line vty mode, set them to permit access from the remote operation terminal. Set the password for the user ID. To log in from a remote operation terminal via telnet, enable telnet functionality. (You can use the line vty command to enable telnet functionality.) - Use a cross-over serial cable to connect the console terminal and the equipment. - Make sure that the terminal emulator application can be used. If there is not enough flash memory for transferring the upgrade file, see 1.4 Measures to take if flash memory is insufficient. 8 You have administrator privileges. To execute the ppupgrade command, you must use the enable command to obtain administrator privileges. 4

5 1.3. Notes on upgrading the software (1) Notes on file transfer When you use FTP to transfer the upgrade file, always use binary mode. The ppupgrade command fails if the FTP transfer is not in binary mode. When you transfer the upgrade file to the equipment, make sure that the file name is upgrade.dat. If this file already exists, the existing file is replaced with the new one. If you have transferred the upgrade file to the wrong destination or transferred it with the wrong file name, delete the file and then transfer the upgrade file correctly. (2) Notes on copying the upgrade file from an SD card Use an ALAXALA SD card. Before upgrading, store the upgrade file on the SD card by using a PC or similar means. (3) Notes on executing the ppupgrade command Make sure that you are the only user executing a ppupgrade command. You cannot execute the ppupgrade command in configuration command mode. Before upgrading, back up the current configuration information. Do not turn the equipment on or off while you are upgrading the software. If the equipment is turned off while upgrading is in progress, restart the equipment and perform the upgrading again from the beginning. If the configuration information has been edited online but has not been saved, use the save configuration command to save the configuration information to the internal flash memory before upgrading. If you do not perform this operation, the previous configuration information is restored when the equipment is restarted. When upgrading the software on the AX3830S model, use the AX3830S upgrade software. The AX3830S upgrade software cannot upgrade except the AX3830S model. When upgrading the software on the AX3640S model, use the AX3640S upgrade software. The AX3640S upgrade software cannot upgrade except the AX3640S model. When upgrading the software on the AX3630S model, use the AX3630S upgrade software. The AX3630S upgrade software cannot upgrade except the AX3630S model. When the ppupgrade_command_password.txt does not exist on the Upgrade CD-ROM, see upgrade.pdf on the Upgrade CD-ROM. 5

6 1.4. Measures to take if flash memory is insufficient Use the rm command to delete the files under the /usr/var/core/ directory. Execute the erase protocol-dump unicast all command. Execute the squeeze command. Reduce the number of user files saved in the user area. 6

7 2. Upgrading the Software 2.1. Preface Use the procedure described in 2.2 or 2.3 to transfer the upgrade file to the equipment, and then use the procedure described in 2.4 to upgrade the software Transferring the file from a remote operation terminal Transfer the upgrade file to the home directory as described in Procedure for transferring the file in the Appendix. Always transfer the file in binary mode Copying the file from an SD card The following procedure shows how to copy the upgrade file from an SD card to the equipment. To copy the file from an SD card to the equipment: 1 Insert an SD card containing the upgrade file into the equipment. 2 Log in to the equipment. 3 Use the ls mc-dir command to confirm that the upgrade file is on the SD card. 4 Enter the cd command to move to the home directory. 5 Use the cp mc-file command to copy the upgrade file from the SD card to the equipment. 6 Use the ls l command to confirm that the size of the file that has been copied to the equipment and the size of the file on the SD card are the same. > ls mc-dir... 3 Name Size upgrade.dat 33 (Check the file name and size.) >cd... 4 >cp mc-file upgrade.dat upgrade.dat... 5 > >ls l... 6 total rwxrwxrwx 1 root wheel 33 Dec 19 14:26 upgrade.dat...(check the file size.) 7

8 2.4. Upgrade procedure The following procedure shows how to upgrade the software from L3(L3S) Lite Edition to L3(L3S) Advanced Edition. When the upgrade procedure is complete, the equipment is automatically restarted. Note that communication temporarily stops during restart. Before using the procedure, make sure that the upgrade file has been transferred from a remote terminal (2.2) or copied from an SD card (2.3) to the equipment. To upgrade the software: 1 Use a user ID that has been set (such as operator) in the equipment to log in to the equipment. 2 Enter the enable command. The command prompt changes to a number sign (#). 3 Execute the ls -l command. 4 Confirm that the size of the file that has been transferred or copied to the equipment is equal to the size of the original file. 5 Enter ppupgrade upgrade.dat. 6 When a password prompt appears, enter a password which is provided with ppupgrade_command_password.txt file on the Upgrade CD-ROM. 7 Upgrading ends, and the equipment is automatically restarted. After the equipment restarts, log in to the equipment again. 8 Execute the show version command to confirm that OS-L3A-A(upgrade) is displayed. When this is displayed, upgrading is complete. 8

10 3. Upgrading the Software When the Equipment Uses VLAN Tunneling When the equipment uses VLAN tunneling, an IP address cannot be set for any equipment interface (VLAN). If you want to upgrade the software on equipment that uses VLAN tunneling, ALAXALA recommends that you purchase an SD card from ALAXALA and upgrade the software from the SD card Upgrading from the SD card Use the procedures described in 2.3 and 2.4 to upgrade the software Upgrading from an operation terminal (when you do not have the SD card) To upgrade the software when the equipment uses VLAN tunneling (which disables IP communication), you must disable VLAN tunneling and then define an IP address to enable IP communication. To enable IP communication safely, ALAXALA recommends that you do the following preparation work before upgrading the software: (1) Make all interfaces inactive to isolate the equipment from the system. (2) Use a cross-over LAN cable to connect the equipment directly to the operation terminal from which you will transfer the upgrade file. Alternatively, connect only the equipment and the operation terminal to a hub. The following flowchart shows the procedure for upgrading the software. 10

11 Start Save the configuration information. Isolate the equipment from the system. (Make all interfaces inactive.) Define an IP address for the interface that you want to use for file transfer. Connect the operation terminal and the equipment directly (using a cross-over LAN cable) or via a hub, and activate the interface. Do not save the configuration information. Use the procedure described in 2.2 to transfer the file. Use the procedure described in 2.4 to upgrade the software. (The equipment is rebooted, and the configuration information is restored.) Remove the cables from the equipment to restore the connection to its status before upgrading. Confirm that the configuration information has been restored. End 11

12 Appendix Procedure for transferring the file 1 Insert the Upgrade CD-ROM into the PC's CD-ROM drive. 2 Open the Command Prompt window. 3 Move to the soft directory on the CD-ROM drive. 4 Use the dir command to check the file name (upgrade.dat) and the file size. 5 Use the ftp command to connect to the equipment. 6 When you are prompted to enter your user name, enter the login name for the equipment. 7 When you are prompted to enter your password, enter your password. 8 Enter bin so that the file is transferred in binary mode. 9 Transfer the file to the home directory on the equipment. 10 Enter bye.
