Managing and Troubleshooting the Universal Port Card
Important Upgrade Commands
There are several commands you use to upgrade SPE firmware. For examples on using the commands,
see the
SPE Firmware Bundled with Cisco IOS Software" section on page

The copy ios-bundled command is not necessary with the universal port card. By default, the version of
Note
SPE firmware bundled with the Cisco IOS software release transfers to all SPEs not specifically
configured for a different SPE firmware file.
Displaying SPE Firmware Versions
Use the show spe version command to list the versions of SPE firmware running on the SPEs, residing
in system Flash memory, and bundled with Cisco IOS software. This helps you decide if you need to
change the version running on the modems.
Note
The version number (version column) may not match the filename (UPG firmware-filename column) for
a short period of time while a range of SPEs is in the process of downloading new firmware. The version
number updates at the beginning of the upgrade process, whereas the filename updates upon completion
of the process. This is done intentionally to enable you to recognize the upgrade process from the show
spe version output.

Use the copy tftp flash filename command to copy any version of SPE firmware (no matter how it
is obtained) into system Flash memory. You can store several versions of the SPE firmware in system
Flash memory under different filenames.
Use the firmware location SPE configuration command to transfer a specified version of SPE
firmware from system Flash memory to the SPEs named on entering SPE configuration mode.
Use the firmware upgrade busyout | download-maintenance | reboot SPE configuration command
to configure when the file named in the firmware location command will be loaded to the SPEs.
Three methods of upgrade are available:
Busyout (the default) upgrades when all calls are terminated on an SPE.
–
Download-maintenance waits upgrades at the next download maintenance (see the
–

Reboot upgrades at the next reboot. Note that, for the firmware upgrade reboot command to

take effect after a reload, you must have saved the running configuration with the copy
