Procedure 6-21: Software management for the VLNC4x and VLNC6x

- Overview

This procedure contains software management procedures for the VLNC4x and VLNC6x circuit pack.

This procedure assumes that you have TFTP server support (either a local TFTP server for local downloads, or a remote TFTP server configured with the VLNC4x and VLNC6x operating software).

Refer to the Alcatel-Lucent 1850 Transport Service Switch (TSS-5) Command Line Interface Guide for help on using CLI commands.

Important!

Depending on the combined level of in-band and LAN network congestion, multiple, in-band software downloads might time out when using some TFTP servers. If simultaneous in-band downloads do not complete successfully, repeat the software download and try downloading a single software image.

Depending on the level of LAN network congestion, a single in-band software download can also time out. Some TFTP servers include a provisionable, transmission-retry settings. If a single software download does not complete successfully, repeat the software download using an alternate TFTP server.
