procedure.
When you upgrade the IDS-4250-TX and IDS-4250-SX with the XL card, the
appliances may not boot up the first time if the fiber ports are connected.
Disconnect the fiber ports before you boot up the appliance. After the appliance
starts for the first time, the firmware version is upgraded and the problem is not
seen again.
You will not experience this problem if you order the IDS-4250-XL—with the XL
card already installed—because the appliance is rebooted at the factory.
To allow the appliance to reboot after installing the XL card, follow these steps:
Log in to the CLI.
Prepare the appliance to be powered off:
sensor# reset powerdown
Wait for the power down message before continuing with Step 3.
You can also power down the sensor from IDM or IDS MC.
Note
Power off the appliance.
Remove the fiber connections from the XL card.
