This article provides a step-by-step procedure for upgrading the VDSL firmware via the CLI.
Perform the following steps to upgrade the firmware:
Step 1: Check the current firmware version of VDSL PIC.
user@host> show system firmware Part Type Tag Current Available Status version version FPC 1 PIC 0 VDSLBCM 10 2.10.0 OK >>>> In this case it is 2.10.0 Routing Engine 0 RE BIOS 0 2.0 OK Routing Engine 0 RE BIOS Backup 1 2.0 OK Routing Engine 0 RE FPGA 14 1.0.0 OK
If the firware suite is present proceed to Step 5. The firmware suite is usually packaged within a Junos image, example 2.15 firmware version is packaged along with 11.4R8.
Step 2: Mount or copy the firmware package to your device.
If the file has been obtained from JTAC then you may use FTP, SCP to load the firmware file to the device. You may save the file in /var/tmp directory.
Step 3 : Once the firmware package is accessible on the router, run the following command to install the firmware package on the device and make it available for upgrading:
user@host> request system software add no-copy no-validate jfirmware-srxsme-11.4R2.7-signed.tgz
Step 4 : Check if the firmware package is listed on “show version”.
user@host> show version Hostname: user Model: srx210h JUNOS Software Release [12.1I20120123_0941] JUNOS Firmware Software Suite [11.4R2.7] >>> This should be listed
Step 5 : Verify the slot in which the VDSL PIM is present using “show chassis hardware”.
Step 6 : Initiate the firmware upgrade:
user@host> request system firmware upgrade pic fpc-slot <no.> pic-slot 0 tag 10
Step 7 : Check the status using: “show system firmware” command.
root@host> show system firmware Part Type Tag Current Available Status version version FPC 1 PIC 0 VDSLBCM 10 2.10.0 2.11.0 UPGRADED SUCCESSFULLY Routing Engine 0 RE BIOS 0 2.0 OK Routing Engine 0 RE BIOS Backup 1 2.0 OK Routing Engine 0 RE FPGA 14 1.0.0 1.0.0 OK f)
Step 8 : Restart the FPC slot where the VDSL PIM is present to make the upgraded firmware effective.
user@host> restart fpc <no.> FPC 1 restarted
Step 9 : Firmware upgrade is complete. Check the status.
root@host> show system firmware Part Type Tag Current Available Status version version FPC 1 PIC 0 VDSLBCM 10 2.11.0 2.11.0 OK >>>> Current version shows 2.11.0 Routing Engine 0 RE BIOS 0 2.0 OK Routing Engine 0 RE BIOS Backup 1 2.0 OK Routing Engine 0 RE FPGA 14 1.0.0 1.0.0 OK
