Second-Generation Fast Ethernet Interface Processor (FEIP2) Installation and Configuration 41
Upgrading FEIP2 Microcode
Step 5 To ensure that the new microcode is used when you reboot the system, add the appropriate
commands to the configuration file. To modify the configuration file, enter configuration
mode by issuing the configure terminal command as follows:
Router# config t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)#
Step 6 Specify that you are changing the microcode for the FEIP2 (microcode vip2), and that it
is to load from Flash memory (flash slot0 or slot1). Then add the filename of the new
microcode image to be loaded from Flash:
Router(config)# microcode vip2 flash slot0:vip11-1
Step 7 To exit configuration mode, press Ctrl-Z.
Step 8 Copy the new configuration to nonvolatile random-access memory (NVRAM):
Router# copy running-config startup-config
The microcode reload command is automatically added to your running configuration.
The new FEIP2 microcode image is loaded automatically the next time the system boots
or reinitializes.
Step 9 To load the new microcode immediately, you can issue the microcode reload
configuration command (you must be in configuration mode to enter this command):
Router# config t
Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
Router(config)# microcode reload
Immediately after you enter the microcode reload command and press Return, the
system reloads all microcode. configuration mode remains enabled; after the reload is
complete, press Ctrl-Z to exit from configuration mode and return to the system prompt.
Step 10 To verify that the FEIP2 is using the correct microcode, issue the show startup-config or
show controllers cbus command, which indicates the currently loaded and running
microcode version for each interface processor.
Router# show controllers cbus
This completes the procedure for downloading microcode to Flash memory.
