6.5. Task 3: Upgrade BSR to Support
Transparent Bridging
If the BSR's software version supports only IP routing, you need to download a later
software version that supports also transparency bridging. You can download a later
software version to the BSR, by using WipManage or WipConfig. If you use
WipManage, you need to run a TFTP server.
For a detailed description on upgrading BSRs, see Chapter 27, "Upgrading
ASWipLL Devices".
Notes:
1) You can download only up to two earlier or later software versions than the
current version. For example, if the current BSR's software version is 2.58.0.4
(i.e. ASWipLL Release 4.1), you can download either the next version, e.g.
2.69.0.1 (i.e. ASWipLL Release 4.2A), or the one after that, e.g. 2.78.0.5 (i.e.
ASWipLL Release 4.2B). For an explanation on the upgrading rules, see
Chapter 20, "Upgrading ASWipLL Database and SW Versions".
2) Always upgrade the devices furthest form the PC running the TFTP server.
In other words, upgrade the SPR before the BSR
6.6. Task 4: Configure BSR for Transparent
Bridging
Once you have successfully downloaded a later software version supporting
transparent bridging to the BSR, you need to configure BSR for transparent
bridging. This configuration is performed using WipConfig.
Warning: In this procedure, you need to reset the BSR to factory default
settings. This results in the deletion of the NVRAM frequency tables. Therefore,
it is recommended to save the NVRAM frequency tables before performing this
procedure.
Note: It is recommended to configure the BSR through a serial connection.
