Software upgrade
IP Trunk 3.01 (and later) software upgrades can be performed in three ways:
•
by FTP from TM 3.1
•
by FTP from the CLI
•
from a PC Card
The application (exec) file for the Media Card 32-port trunk card contains
a different CPU type definition from other IP trunk card types. When
performing an upgrade on an IP trunk node containing a mixture of Media
Card 32-port trunk cards, ITG-Pentium 24-port trunk cards, and ITG 8-port
trunk cards, each card type must be upgraded with its corresponding image
file. It is important that all cards in a node are using the same software
release, which means that a node upgraded to IP Trunk 3.01 (and later) can
no longer have an ITG 8-port trunk card in that node.
ATTENTION
IMPORTANT!
IP Trunk 3.01 (and later) does not support the ITG 8-port trunk card.
Follow the steps in Procedure 3 "Upgrading IP Trunk 3.01 (and later)
software" (page 59) to upgrade to IP Trunk 3.01 (and later) software.
