WHAT FOLLOWS CAREFULLY :
1. If you have only one A-CPSW (no redundant) follow the steps 1 to 4 then the steps 6 to 8.
2. If you have two A-CPSWs modules (one redundant A-CPSW) follow the steps 1 to 5 for main
A-CPSW and the steps 2 to 4 then 6 for redundant A-CPSW .Then follow the steps 6, 7 and 8 on
main A-CPSW (see upgrade synopsis).

2.1 Step 1: Saving Configuration before the upgrade

It is recommended to perform the following steps with NO OPERATIONAL TRAFFIC
flowing in your ATM campus network. Typically, this would be scheduled as part of a
maintenance period. You should save all your configuration parameters before.
Before you begin the upgrade procedure we recommend to upload the configuration of each
8260 in your network :
1 Setup the TFTP parameters by entering the following commands:
Ÿ
SET TFTP SERVER_IP_ADDRESS <ip address of the TFTP server>
Ÿ
SET TFTP FILE_TYPE CONFIGURATION
