    Ensure you have correct information including: Carrier and Model for the particular Device (MAC address)

## Update process

    Login to SOUP server: densoup01.contournetworks.net

    Run the following commands:

~~~

cd /opt/sdm/www/soupfiles

ln -s /opt/sdm/configs/systechConfig/firmware/[firmware file] M[last six of MAC]0F800100.bdnl 

~~~

### Examples

    #### 73xx

         ln -s /opt/sdm/configs/systechConfig/firmware/ipg73xx_02F.2.bdnl M0DF06A0F800100.bdnl

    #### 77xx

         ln -s /opt/sdm/configs/systechConfig/firmware/ipg77xx_02F.2.bdnl M0EFFA60F800100.bdnl

         ln -s /opt/sdm/configs/systechConfig/firmware/ipg8xxx_02F.2.bdnl M1077880F800100.bdnl

## Validation

~~~

ls -ltra 

~~~

### Examples

[root@densoup01 soupfiles]# pwd  - show the current directory

/opt/sdm/www/soupfiles

[root@densoup01 soupfiles]# ls -ltra list files with attributes

# Nightly Validation

A script is run nightly at 07:00 which will parse the logs to determine which routers have been successfully updated.  

The script is located at /opt/soup-adminscripts/getdailylog.sh 

This can be ran manually and it will mail a report that has

- The Date

- status 

- Last Six (6) of MAC Address
