Firmware upgrades from the primary controller

For a Branch Gateway without an S8300 or for a Branch Gateway with an S8300 installed as an
LSP, you can upgrade Branch Gateway firmware from the remotely located primary controller. The
primary controller may be an S8300, S85XX, S87XX, or S88XX server. See the guide for the
primary controller for information about upgrading firmware from the primary controller. See
Upgrading, Migrating, and Converting Avaya Servers and Gateways, 03-300412.
Note:
You can only upgrade using FTP on the S85XX, S87XX, and S88XX servers.

Upgrading firmware using the CLI through FTP/TFTP

About this task
You can upgrade firmware through FTP/TFTP using the CLI. You can perform the upgrade remotely
using a modem connection, but the upgrade files must first be downloaded to an FTP or TFTP
server on the LAN connected to the Branch Gateway.
Procedure
1. Prepare installation worksheets.
See Preparing installation worksheets
2. Set up an FTP or TFTP server on the LAN connected to the Branch Gateway.
For information about setting up a TFTP server, see
Note:
If you use an FTP server, the Branch Gateway prompts you for a username and
password when you enter a command to transfer a file. Also, when opening an FTP
connection to the S8300, all anonymous FTP file transfers are restricted to the /var/
home/ftp/pub directory. Permission for anonymous FTP users to create files in other
directories is denied. You must enable the S8300 FTP server from the Maintenance web
page. The S8300 FTP server disables itself after 15 minutes.
3. Download the firmware files to the FTP or TFTP server.

4. Connect to the Branch Gateway via modem or via the Services port on the front panel.
