Upgrading Routers from Version 5 to Version 10.0
1-2
Router Upgrade Prerequisites
Do not begin this router software upgrade process until you verify that the router
meets the prerequisites described in this chapter for
• Minimum hardware
• Contiguous free space on a Flash volume
• Boot PROM version
Minimum Hardware Requirements
Before you upgrade an AFN, ALN, FN, LN, or CN router to Router Software
Version 10.0, perform the following steps to ensure that the router meets all
minimum hardware configuration and revision level requirements:
1.
Ensure that the VME router you want to upgrade contains a Flash
memory controller and a Flash card.
To determine whether your VME router contains a Flash memory controller,
look at Slot 1 in the router module. The Flash memory controller resides in
this slot.
Version 10.0 router software runs on Flash media only.
2.
Complete any planned (optional) upgrade from 2-MB Flash to 4-MB
Flash support on a router.
This procedure includes a Boot PROM upgrade for a Flash controller module.
3.
Determine whether any other new router hardware requires software or
PROM upgrades to work properly.
Note:
If you need help meeting the prerequisites of the Version 10.0 router
software upgrade procedure as described in this section, contact the Bay
Networks Technical Response Center in your area.
Note:
The PCMCIA/Floppy switch on a SYSCON-II Flash controller should
be in the Floppy position, with the router running Version 5.
