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

# 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
