Firmware Updates¶

This document describes how to update a single device Firmware using the SOUP server.

Prerequisites¶

Ensure you have access to the production SOUP server. Create a ticket if needed.
Provide adequate notification prior to updating customer devices.
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

#### 81xx  
     ln -s /opt/sdm/configs/systechConfig/firmware/ipg8xxx_02F.2.bdnl M1077880F800100.bdnl

Validation¶

Run the following command to ensure the file is linked correctly.

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
