48 CHAPTER 5: UPGRADING A BRIDGE/ROUTER USING THE COMMAND-LINE UTILITIES
CAUTION: When upgrading to a package containing encryption, you must specify
the -EncyrptionLicenseRead option flag. If you attempt to upgrade to an
encrypted package and you have not specified the -EncryptionLicenseRead option,
the upgrade will fail.
The bcmsysupgrade utility only backs up the files in the primary boot source. To
archive both the primary and secondary boot sources, use bcmbackup instead of
bcmsysupgrade. See “bcmbackup” on page 73 for more information.
2 Update your configuration files using:
bcmsysupgrade -s:update -m -new_hw <device>
3 Upgrade your hardware.
4 Attach a console to the Console port on the bridge/router.
5 Set up IP routing by following these steps:
a Log on to the bridge/router as root and press the Return key.
The password prompt is displayed.
b At the password prompt, press the Return key.
The network manager prompt (Enterprise OS #) is displayed.
c Set up an IP address and subnet mask using:
SETDefault !<port> -IP NETaddr = <IP address> [<subnet mask>]
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 routing protocol. For example, enable RIP by using:
SETDefault !<port> -RIPIP CONTrol = (TAlk, LIsten)
f Check your configuration by verifying that the bridge/router is accessible by
using the following at the network management station:
PING <IP address>
<IP address> is the IP address of the bridge/router.
6 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 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
