Changing the Working Microcode Image
The user can change the microcode image using Cisco IOS CLI configuration and a reset of the
ML-Series card. Using this configuration method, you can load any microcode image except 802.17. To
automatically download and enable the 802.17 microcode image, use CTC to set the card mode to
802.17. For more information, see the
Cisco ONS 15454 and Cisco ONS 15454 SDH Ethernet Card Software Feature and Configuration Guide, R8.0
