6 Upgrading an Existing G700 without an S8300: On Site Preparation for the Upgrade

On Site Preparation for the Upgrade

Before installing new firmware on the G700 processors and medial modules you need to:
• Have the firmware loaded onto a TFTP server
• Determine which G700 components need new firmware
as described in this section.

Access the P330 Stack Processor

See "Connection and Login Methods" on page 38
Log on to the P330 stack processor using one of the following methods:
• Using a LAN connection, telnet to the IP address of the P330 stack processor and log in.
• If you are not using your laptop as the TFTP server, you can connect your Laptop directly to the
G700 Console (Serial) Port. Then use HyperTerm or a similar terminal emulation application to log
in to the P330 stack processor Command Line Interface.
You are now logged-in at the Supervisor level with prompt P330-1(super)#.

Verify the Contents of the tftpboot Directory

Before proceeding with the G700 firmware installation, you should check the tftpboot directory on
the TFTP server to make sure the firmware versions match those listed in the planning
documentation.

Determine Which Firmware to Install on the G700

Note: If you are using the LSP/G700 Upgrade Tool, the Upgrade Tool performs this task
automatically.
Conduct the following procedure to compare software versions running on the G700 processors and media
modules with the versions in you planning documents. If the versions do not match, new firmware for those
components is necessary.
Determine if new firmware for the P330 stack processor is necessary.
1. At either the P330-1(super)# or P330-1(configure)# prompt, type dir.
The system displays the list of software.
