40 CHAPTER 5: UPGRADING A BRIDGE/ROUTER USING THE COMMAND-LINE UTILITIES
For UNIX, after you have upgraded, check the /tftpboot/CLIENTS/<IP address or
mac address>/tmp/stages.log file to ensure that the options were used
consistently throughout the upgrade process.
For Windows, after you have upgraded, check the \%tftpboot%\CLIENTS\<IP
address or mac address>\tmp\stages.log file to ensure that the options were used
consistently throughout the upgrade process.
Table 4 lists the most common bcmsysupgrade options.
Whenever you specify an option with bcmsysupgrade, you must repeat that
option for all steps in the procedure.
Example To upgrade a bridge/router from the SW/NBII-WA,8.3 package to the SW/NBII-FF,
10.1005 package (unlike packages, manual recovery, and a different package
from 11.0), use:
bcmsysupgrade -s:from_nb -k:FF -V:101005 -m <device>
The same options must be used to upgrade configuration files:
bcmsysupgrade -s:update -k:FF -V:101005 -m <device>
See Chapter 8 for more information about how to use bcmsysupgrade for
specialized cases.
