46 CHAPTER 5: UPGRADING A BRIDGE/ROUTER USING THE COMMAND-LINE UTILITIES
Where <port> is the port through which the bridge/router can be accessed by
the NMS.
d Enable IP routing by entering:
SETDefault -IP CONTrol = ROute
e Enable a route discovery protocol. For example, enable OSPF by using:
SETDefault !<port> -OSPF CONTrol = Enable
f Check your configuration by pinging the bridge/router from the NMS:
ping <IP address>
Where <IP address> is the IP address of the bridge/router.
7 Set up SNMP.
This guide does not describe in detail how to set up the SNMP Service. See Using
Enterprise OS Software and Reference for Enterprise OS Software for more
information.
To enable SNMP read/write access, you need to modify two parameters in the
SNMP Service: COMmunity and MANager.
a The COMmunity parameter modifies the list of communities. For information
on how to use the COMmunity parameter, See Using Enterprise OS Software
and Reference for Enterprise OS Software.
By default all bridge/router configuration files are accessible to an SNMP-based
manager with read privileges. To change SNMP access to configuration files to
read/write for a network management station for a community named public,
enter:
ADD -SNMP COMmunity "public" RW
b With the MANager parameter, create a new manager with read/write access to
the bridge/router. For security reasons, limit the number of network
management stations by entering the IP address of the network management
station that will have access. For example, enter:
ADD -SNMP MANager “sysadm” 129.213.224.1
8 Copy the upgraded software to the bridge/router using:
bcmsysupgrade -s:to_nb -new_hw <device>
9 Test your new software using:
bcmsysupgrade -s:test_boot -new_hw <device>
The bridge/router is rebooted, and the utilities confirm IP connectivity and that the
expected version of software is running.
10 Verify that your upgrade completed successfully.
To verify that the software is working properly, you can perform a set of
operational integrity checks on the newly upgraded device. These may include:
■ Some standard checks based on services active.
A basic service verification test can Ping to specific IP addresses.
■ Connectivity checks based on network topology.
Examples of a connectivity verification include:
■ Checking the connectivity between devices on different networks, through
designated bridge/routers.
