1.2 .1.2 Copying the Distribution Files on your workstation
1 Insert the distribution diskette part number 26L0255 in the workstation.
2 Copy from the diskette to the directory where you want the microcodes to reside, the following
files:

A-CPSW boot microcode, file name: BOOTV319.BIN.
 A-CPSW FPGA picocode, file name: SWPGAB52.ENC.
3 Remove the distribution diskette part number 26L0255 from the workstation.
4 Insert the distribution diskette part number 26L0256 in the workstation.
5 Copy from the diskette to the directory where you want the microcodes to reside, the following
files:

A-CPSW operational microcode, file name: 8260V319.OPE.
6 Remove the distribution diskette part number 26L0256 from the workstation.
7 On an AIX Workstation make sure that the files can be read by all users :

Log in as "root"
 Set the path to the microcode files directory
 Enter: chmod a+r BOOTV319.BIN
 Enter: chmod a+r 8260V319.OPE
 Enter: chmod a+r SWPGAB52.ENC
1.2 .2 Code download from the Web
The code upgrade files posted on the Web are available to upgrade (or restore) a CPSW.
They consist of the boot and operational microcodes, the FPGA and MIB codes, so that text
files in plain text or PDF (Acrobat reader) format.
 Installation Instructions

June 17 1998EC : F34705PN : 26L0227

These files must be placed in a directory reachable through TFTP, like /tmp for a Unix/AIX
station, so that In-Band download toward the CPSW can be performed.
After package file has been downloaded and unzipped, on an AIX Workstation make sure
that the files can be read by all users :
Log in as "root" Set the path to the microcode files directory
Enter: chmod a+r BOOTV319.BIN
Enter: chmod a+r 8260V319.OPE
Enter: chmod a+r SWPGAB52.ENC
1.3 In-Band download method
You need to perform an inband download operation, using either:
ww Classical IP mode. Make sure that your ATM network is configured for IP Over ATM
(RFC 1577). To configure your ATM network for IP over ATM:
1 Connect an ARP server to the ATM network. The ARP server will be used to map IP
addresses to ATM addresses.
2 For each A-CPSW module verify that the following parameters are configured:
Ø ATM address of the ARP server
Ø IP address and IP mask of the A-CPSW
Ø IP address of the default gateway
3 Verify the IP connectivity to the ARP server by entering a PING command for each A-CPSW
module.
4 Verify the IP connectivity to the TFTP server by entering a PING command for each A-CPSW
module.
ww Ethernet or Token Ring LAN-Emulation mode
Make sure your network is configured in Ethernet or Token Ring
LAN-Emulation.
To configure your network in Ethernet or Token Ring LAN-Emulation :
1. You must have an Ethernet or Token Ring LAN-Emulation Server configured and ready.
You can use the local LES of the 8260.
2. You must configure the Ethernet or Token Ring LAN-Emulation Client on your 8260.
3. You must have a TFTP Server somewhere in the IP network (either on the Emulated LAN,
either behind an IP Gateway), and the microcode files installed on that TFTP Server.

4. Check that you can PING the TFTP server from the 8260 LEC.
ww Serial Line IP support (SLIP) mode.Make sure your workstation can act as a TFTP
server .
1. Set up a A-CPSW Configuration Console in SLIP Mode:
2. Then configuring the SLIP interface on the TFTP workstation will allow you to perform Inband
Download between your workstation and the A-CPSW.
3. The SLIP connection will be broken after a reset of the A-CPSW and connection will be
operational in normal mode.
1.4 Out of Band Download method
 FPGA picocode cannot be downloaded using this method, only boot and operational.
 Download can only be performed on active CPSW.
Once you have the code on your A-disk or hard disk, and you have connected your PC on the
RS232 port, using an RS232 emulated terminal, you have to type the following commands on
the command line: MAINTAIN
DOWNLOAD OUT-OF-BAND BOOT (or OPERATIONAL)
You then have to choose the Xmodem protocol and select the path where your code is
located.
Note: This method is not recommended since it takes more time than the In-Band
method.

2 Upgrading the 8260
YOU SHOULD MIGRATE YOUR NETWORK CLUSTER BY CLUSTER AND YOU
SHOULD DOWNLOAD THE FPGA CODE AND MICROCODE ON ALL YOUR 8260
AND 8285 SWITCHES (in the cluster) BEFORE PERFORMING ANY SWAP
COMMAND.
Note that interoperability between v.2.x.x clusters and v.3.x.x peer groups is possible through
NNI/IISP respectively.
 IMPORTANT
The following steps are showing an example of Inband Download.
You may log in to the A-CPSW console either locally using an ASCII terminal connected
to the A-CPSW console port, or remotely using a TELNET session. PLEASE, READ
WHAT FOLLOWS CAREFULLY :
1. If you have only one A-CPSW (no redundant) follow the steps 1 to 4 then the steps 6 to 8.
2. If you have two A-CPSWs modules (one redundant A-CPSW) follow the steps 1 to 5 for main
A-CPSW and the steps 2 to 4 then 6 for redundant A-CPSW .Then follow the steps 6, 7 and 8 on
main A-CPSW (see upgrade synopsis).
2.1 Step 1: Saving Configuration before the upgrade
It is recommended to perform the following steps with NO OPERATIONAL TRAFFIC
flowing in your ATM campus network. Typically, this would be scheduled as part of a
maintenance period. You should save all your configuration parameters before.
Before you begin the upgrade procedure we recommend to upload the configuration of each
8260 in your network :
1 Setup the TFTP parameters by entering the following commands:

SET TFTP SERVER_IP_ADDRESS <ip address of the TFTP server>
 SET TFTP FILE_TYPE CONFIGURATION
 SET TFTP FILE_NAME
 Provide the full path of the file when prompted
2 Start the upload inband procedure by entering: UPLOAD

2.2 Step 2: Download Inband the 8260 A-CPSW
operational microcode
Upgrade the new active A-CPSW operational microcode as follows:
1 Configure the TFTP parameters by entering the following commands:

SET TFTP SERVER_IP_ADDRESS <ip address of the TFTP server>
 SET TFTP FILE_TYPE OPERATIONAL
 SET TFTP FILE_NAME
 Type the full path name of the operational microcode file when prompted (its actual name is
indicated in the Readme file).
2 Make sure you can reach the TFTP server by entering:
PING <ip adress of the TFTP server>
(Stop PING by entering: Ctrl+C)
3 Start the download inband procedure by entering:
DOWNLOAD INBAND
When prompted, type "Y" to confirm.
4 Wait for successful termination of the download operation. The message
Download successful
is displayed.
This may also be checked by displaying the TFTP last transfer result through the command:
"SHOW TFTP" .
The command "SHOW DEVICE" displays the downloaded operational code level as backup.
It should display : v. 3.1.9.
2.3 Step 3 : Download Inband the 8260 A-CPSW FPGA
picocode
This operation should be done only if your CPSW FPGA level is not uptodate, the latest
level is B52.
1 Configure the TFTP parameters by entering the following commands:

SET TFTP SERVER_IP_ADDRESS <ip address of the TFTP server>
 SET TFTP FILE_TYPE FPGA
 Installation Instructions

 SET TFTP FILE_NAME
 Type the full path name of the FPGA file when prompted
 SET TFTP TARGET_MODULE <n> (n=9 or 11 depending of active A-CPSW position) .
 SAVE TFTP
2 Make sure you can reach the TFTP server by entering:
PING <ip adress of the TFTP server>
(Stop PING by entering: Ctrl+C)
3 Start the download inband procedure by entering:
DOWNLOAD INBAND
When prompted, type "Y" to confirm.
4 Wait for successful termination of the download operation (it may take up to 10 minutes). The
message
Download successful is displayed.
This may also be checked by displaying the TFTP last transfer result with the command:
"SHOW TFTP".
The command SHOW MODULE <n> VERBOSE (n=9 or 11 depending on A-CPSW active
position) displays the FPGA level in backup.
It should appear as B52.
2.4 Step 4: Download Inband the 8260 A-CPSW boot
microcode
Upgrade the new active A-CPSW boot microcode as follows:
1 Log in as the Administrator on the A-CPSW console
2 Perform the command:

SET DEVICE MIGRATION NOT_ALLOWED
3 Upgrade the A-CPSW boot microcode (Boot EEPROM) as follows:

Configure the TFTP parameters by entering the following commands:
Ø
SET TFTP SERVER_IP_ADDRESS <ip address of the TFTP server>
Ø
SET TFTP FILE_TYPE BOOT
Ø
SET TFTP FILE_NAME
Ø Type the full path name of the boot microcode file when prompted (its actual name is
indicated in the Readme file).
