Chapter 1

Preparing to Upgrade

This chapter describes upgrade prerequisites and initial preparations for

upgrading routers running Version 5 software to Router Software Version 10.0 and

Site Manager Software Version 4.0.

The procedure for upgrading routers from Version 5 to Version 10.0 consists of a

series of high-level tasks, each representing one phase of the upgrade process. You

complete each upgrade phase by accomplishing a set of goals or tasks. Complete

each task by following its subordinate

procedure and numbered steps.

The router upgrade procedure applies to the following routers:

• AFN

®

• ALN

•FN

™

•LN

®

•CN

®

Upgrading Routers from Version 5 to Version 10.0

1-2

Router Upgrade Prerequisites

Do not begin this router software upgrade process until you verify that the router

meets the prerequisites described in this chapter for

• Minimum hardware

• Contiguous free space on a Flash volume

• Boot PROM version

Minimum Hardware Requirements

Before you upgrade an AFN, ALN, FN, LN, or CN router to Router Software

Version 10.0, perform the following steps to ensure that the router meets all

minimum hardware conﬁguration and revision level requirements:

1.

Ensure that the VME router you want to upgrade contains a Flash

memory controller and a Flash card.

To determine whether your VME router contains a Flash memory controller,

look at Slot 1 in the router module. The Flash memory controller resides in

this slot.

Version 10.0 router software runs on Flash media only.

2.

Complete any planned (optional) upgrade from 2-MB Flash to 4-MB

Flash support on a router.

This procedure includes a Boot PROM upgrade for a Flash controller module.

3.

Determine whether any other new router hardware requires software or

PROM upgrades to work properly.

Note:

If you need help meeting the prerequisites of the Version 10.0 router

software upgrade procedure as described in this section, contact the Bay

Networks Technical Response Center in your area.

Note:

The PCMCIA/Floppy switch on a SYSCON-II Flash controller should

be in the Floppy position, with the router running Version 5.

x

software.

Preparing to Upgrade

1-3

Contiguous Free Space on a Flash Volume

You must determine the amount of free space that you need on the Flash card to

accommodate the customized Version 10.0 router software image and

conﬁguration ﬁles. The amount of contiguous free space available on the target

Flash volume must be greater than the combined size of the customized Version

10.0 router software image and associated ﬁles (such as

conﬁg

,

ti.cfg

, and, if

appropriate, a Version 10.0 PROM image).

After you ﬁrst boot the Flash card that contains the default

conﬁg

ﬁle, you can

determine the amount of contiguous free space available in a selected volume

by entering the

dinfo

command. The

dinfo

command displays the data shown in

Table 1-1.

Boot PROM Version

Starting with Version 8.10 of the router software, Bay Networks implemented a

new naming convention for router software image ﬁles in AN™, AFN (with

Flash), ASN™, and BN

®

routers. The Version 10.0 router software image name

for FN, ALN, LN, and CN routers remains

ace.out

.

The new naming convention provides the following beneﬁts:

• Simpliﬁes how you manage router software image ﬁles on your Site Manager

workstation, beginning with Version 8.10.

• Reduces the complexity of performing future upgrades in a network

containing different routers.

Table 1-1. Determining Available and Contiguous Free Space on Flash

Card

Field Meaning

Total Size Total number of bytes (used and unused) on the volume.

Available Free Space Number of unused bytes on the volume.

Contiguous Free Space Number of unused bytes in the largest block available on

the volume. This space is actual usable memory.

Upgrading Routers from Version 5 to Version 10.0

1-4

Upgrade the Boot PROM in the router when you want to implement the new

naming convention and any new features that depend on the newest version of the

Boot PROM program.

The Boot PROM program in CN, FN, LN, and ALN (VME) routers looks only for

the router software image name

ace.out

at system boot time. It is not necessary to

upgrade the Boot PROM in any of these VME routers unless you are also

upgrading that router from 2-MB Flash to 4-MB Flash support. (The router

requires Version 8.10 or later Boot PROM code to support the 4-MB Flash card.)

You upgrade the Boot PROM on a SYSCON-II Flash controller for FN, ALN, LN,

and CN routers using the Technician Interface.

Before Version 8.10, the Boot program in AFN routers (with Flash) looked only

for the software image name

boot.exe.

Once updated for Version 8.10, the Boot

and Diagnostic PROMs in an AFN (with Flash) look ﬁrst for the Version 8.10 or

later router software image name

afn.exe

at system boot time. If the Boot program

cannot ﬁnd

afn.exe

, it searches next for the Version 7–8

.

0

x

image name,

boot.exe

.

For instructions about upgrading PROMs on the AFN, ALN, CN, FN, and LN

routers, refer to the sources listed in Table 1-2.

Note:

Bay Networks strongly recommends that you upgrade the Boot and

Diagnostic PROMs in an AFN (Flash) router before upgrading the router’s

software image to Version 10.0. The Version 10.0 software requires a Version

3.04 Boot/Diagnostic PROM in the AFN.

Table 1-2. PROM Upgrade References

When Upgrading

PROMs on Router Refer to

AFN (Flash)

.

(This document comes with the AFN Flash upgrade kit.) To

continue with the Version 10.0/4.0 upgrade process, go to “Initial

Upgrade Preparations,” following this section.

FN, ALN, LN, or CN “Router Upgrade Prerequisites,” unless you want to ﬁrst

upgrade the router from 2-MB Flash to 4-MB Flash support. If

so, refer to

Upgrading SYSCON -II Boot PROMs for 4-MB Flash

Cards,

supplied with your 4-MB Flash upgrade kit.

Preparing to Upgrade

1-5

Initial Upgrade Preparations

Before you can upgrade your router from Version 5 to Version 10.0, you must

complete the following tasks:

• Satisfy startup requirements

• Inspect your upgrade kit

• Connect an ASCII console to the router

• Verify X.25 certiﬁability (conﬁguration-dependent)

• Review interoperability issues

This section describes each task in greater detail.

Note:

If you recently installed in the AFN a Flash card containing an image

that is Version 8.10, the AFN already has the Boot and Diagnostic PROMs

that look for the router software image name

afn.exe

. However, you may need

to convert and upgrade Version 5.xx conﬁguration ﬁles still residing on the

AFN to Version 10.0. If so, go to Chapter 4 to transfer ﬁles to the workstation

for conversion. If you created new (Version 8.10 or later) conﬁguration ﬁles

for the AFN using Site Manager, go instead to Chapter 5 to complete the

upgrade for an AFN.

Upgrading Routers from Version 5 to Version 10.0

1-6

Satisfying Startup Requirements

Before you attempt the Version 5 to Version 10.0 upgrade procedure, ensure that

• Your router is currently running Bay Networks Version 5 router software.

• You know the hardware conﬁguration of the router you want to upgrade

(router model, link modules, and slot assignments for link modules).

• You know how to back up the Version 5 router software and ﬁles.

• You have a working knowledge of the operating system and the windowing

software on the UNIX workstation or PC you will use to run Site Manager

software.

• You have a 4-MB Flash card on which to store the Version 10.0 router

software image and associated ﬁles. A 2-MB Flash card will no longer

accommodate the Version 10.0 router software image and associated ﬁles.

• You have considered minimum hardware revisions (for example, a link

module with hot-swap capability may require a hardware revision for Version

10.0).

• You have considered your memory requirements carefully. Based on the

number of protocols installed on your router, you may require additional

memory to run these protocols.

If you have questions regarding memory requirements, contact the Bay

Networks Technical Response Center in your area.

• You have read these Bay Networks publications:

— Read Me First

(Version 10.0)

— Release Notes for Router Software Version 10.0

— Release Notes for Site Manager Software Version 4.0

— Known Anomalies (

Version 10.0

)

Note:

Later in the upgrade procedure, you must enter the router’s hardware

conﬁguration in each of the upgraded conﬁguration ﬁles.
