Installing the WAN Module
Installing the WAN Module Software
Once the WAN module is installed in the chassis, you might need to update the image
file on the module. See the release notes for your version of ExtremeWare for details.
(You might also need to update the image on the SMMi to one that will support the
module. See the ExtremeWare Software User Guide for more information on updating the
SMMi image.)
The image file contains the executable code that runs on the module. As new versions
of the image are released, you should upgrade the software running on your module.
The image installed on the SMMi and the image installed on the module must be
compatible. New SMMi images and module images are released together, so if you
upgrade both at the same time, you will be certain to have compatible images. If this is
not feasible, see the Extreme Networks customer support website for compatibility
information.
The image is downloaded from either a Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server on
the network or from a PC connected to the serial port using the XMODEM protocol.
Downloading a new image involves the following steps:
• Load the new image onto a TFTP server on your network (if you will be using
TFTP).
• Load a new image onto a PC (if you will be using XMODEM).
• Download the new image to the module using the command
download image slot <slot> [<ipaddress> | <hostname>] <filename>
{primary | secondary}
where the following is true:
— Is the slot in which the module is installed.
slot
— Is the IP address of the TFTP server.
ipaddress
— Is the hostname of the TFTP server. (You must enable DNS to use this
hostname
option. See the ExtremeWare Software User Guide for more information.)
— Is the filename of the new image.
filename
— Indicates the primary image.
primary
— Indicates the secondary image.
