Chapter 17 Managing Firmware and Configurations Working with Software Images Working with Software Images This section describes how to archive (download and upload) software image files, which contain the system software, IOS code, radio firmware, and the web management HTML files. You download an bridge image file from a TFTP, FTP, or RCP server to upgrade the bridge software. You upload an bridge image file to a TFTP, FTP, or RCP server for backup purposes. You can use this uploaded image for future downloads to the same bridge or another of the same type. The protocol you use depends on which type of server you are using. The FTP and RCP transport mechanisms provide faster performance and more reliable delivery of data than TFTP. These improvements are possible because FTP and RCP are built on and use the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) stack, which is connection-oriented. This section includes this information: • Image Location on the Bridge, page 17-19 • tar File Format of Images on a Server or Cisco.com, page 17-19 • Copying Image Files by Using TFTP, page 17-20 • Copying Image Files by Using FTP, page 17-23 • Copying Image Files by Using RCP, page 17-27 • Reloading the Image Using the Web Browser Interface, page 17-32 • Reloading the Image Using the Power Injector MODE button, page 17-33 Note For a list of software images and supported upgrade paths, refer to the release notes for your bridge.

The image is stored on the system board Flash memory (flash:). You can use the show version privileged EXEC command to see the software version that is currently running on your bridge. In the display, check the line that begins with System image file is... It shows the directory name in Flash memory where the image is stored. You can also use the dir filesystem: privileged EXEC command to see the directory names of other software images you might have stored in Flash memory. tar File Format of Images on a Server or Cisco.com Software images located on a server or downloaded from Cisco.com are provided in a tar file format, which contains these files: • info file The info file is always at the beginning of the tar file and contains information about the files within it. • IOS image • Web management files needed by the HTTP server on the bridge • radio firmware 5000.img file OL-4059-01 Cisco Aironet 1400 Series Wireless Bridges Software Configuration Guide 17-19
