Upgrading Spe Firmware - Cisco AS5350 - Universal Access Server Configuration Manual

Upgrading SPE Firmware

Clear an SPE
The clear spe privileged EXEC mode command allows you to manually recover a port that is frozen in
a suspended state. This command causes the firmware configured for that SPE to be downloaded to the
specified SPE or the range of SPEs and Power On Self Test (POST) to be executed. This command can
be executed regardless of the state of the SPEs. All active ports running on the SPE are prematurely
terminated and messages are logged into the appropriate log. This replaces the clear modem command.
The following example shows a coldstart on SPE 1 on slot 1:
AS5400# clear spe 1/1
AS5400# Are you sure you want to clear SPE 1/1(Y/N)? Y
Upgrading SPE Firmware
With new systems, Cisco loads a Cisco IOS software-compatible version of SPE firmware into each
installed SPE. A map of the version(s) of SPE firmware copied to RAM for each SPE is stored in
nonvolatile random-access memory (NVRAM) so that it is retained over power cycles.
Note You do not have to take any action to use the pre-installed version of SPE firmware with new systems.
You can acquire new SPE firmware from the Cisco Software Center in one of two ways:
•
•
When you have the new firmware, you can configure different firmware versions onto individual SPEs
or ranges of SPEs on a universal port card. You can also configure different upgrade methods by using
the firmware upgrade command.
