Upgrading Routers from Version 5 to Version 10.0

1-4

Upgrade the Boot PROM in the router when you want to implement the new

naming convention and any new features that depend on the newest version of the

Boot PROM program.

The Boot PROM program in CN, FN, LN, and ALN (VME) routers looks only for

the router software image name

ace.out

at system boot time. It is not necessary to

upgrade the Boot PROM in any of these VME routers unless you are also

upgrading that router from 2-MB Flash to 4-MB Flash support. (The router

requires Version 8.10 or later Boot PROM code to support the 4-MB Flash card.)

You upgrade the Boot PROM on a SYSCON-II Flash controller for FN, ALN, LN,

and CN routers using the Technician Interface.

Before Version 8.10, the Boot program in AFN routers (with Flash) looked only

for the software image name

boot.exe.

Once updated for Version 8.10, the Boot

and Diagnostic PROMs in an AFN (with Flash) look ﬁrst for the Version 8.10 or

later router software image name

afn.exe

at system boot time. If the Boot program

cannot ﬁnd

afn.exe

, it searches next for the Version 7–8

image name,

boot.exe

For instructions about upgrading PROMs on the AFN, ALN, CN, FN, and LN

routers, refer to the sources listed in Table 1-2.

Note:

Bay Networks strongly recommends that you upgrade the Boot and

Diagnostic PROMs in an AFN (Flash) router before upgrading the router’s

software image to Version 10.0. The Version 10.0 software requires a Version

3.04 Boot/Diagnostic PROM in the AFN.
