Upgrading From A Pcmcia Card - Cisco catalyst 6500 series Configuration Note

Upgrading to a New Software Release
Note
The IP address of a linecard on the backplane is designated 127.0.0.XY, where X is the slot number and
Y is the processor number. In a supervisor engine 1 and supervisor engine 2, the LCP was processor 0,
the SP was processor 1, and the RP was processor 2. The CSM always upgrades from the RP. For
exaample if you have a supervisor engine 1 or supervisor engine 2 in slot 1, the address to upgrade from
would be 127.0.0.12 (X = slot1, Y = processor 2). If the supervisor engine 1 or supervisor engine 2 were
in slot 2, the address to upgrade from would be 127.0.0.22.
In the case of the supervisor engine 720, the LCP and the SP are consolidated into one processor, and
the numbering scheme is changed. The processor that services both LCP functionality and the SP is
numbered processor 0, and the RP is numbered processor 1. If the supervisor engine 720 is in slot 1, the
upgrade takes place from IP address 127.0.0.11 (X = slot1, Y = processor 1).
Step 4 Close the session to the CSM, and return to the Cisco IOS prompt:
CSM> exit
Step 5 Reboot the CSM by power cycling the CSM or by entering the following commands on the supervisor
engine console:
Router(config)# hw-module module csm-slot-number reset

Upgrading from a PCMCIA Card

Throughout this publication, the term Flash PC card is used in place of the term PCMCIA card.
Note
To upgrade the CSM from a removable Flash PC card inserted in the supervisor engine, perform these
steps:
Enable the TFTP server to supply the image from the removable Flash PC card:
Step 1
Router>
Router> enable
Router# configure terminal
Router(config)# tftp-server slot x :c6slb-apc. revision-num .bin
The x value is 0 if the Flash PC card is installed in supervisor engine PCMCIA slot 0.
Set up a session between the supervisor engine and the CSM:
Step 2
Router# session slot csm-slot-number processor 0
Step 3 Load the image from the supervisor engine to the CSM:
CSM> upgrade slot0: c6slb-apc. revision-num . bin
Note
Close the session to the CSM and return to the IOS prompt:
Step 4
CSM> exit
