ROMMON Release Notes for Supervisor Engine 7-E on the Cisco RF Gateway 10

---

OL-28030-02, December 11, 2013

This document describes how to download the new ROMMON image from Cisco.com and then upgrade the ROMMON on the Cisco RF Gateway 10 (RFGW-10) Universal Edge Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (EQAM) platform.

We recommend that you refer to the latest ROMMON image.

ROMMON Image Overview

This ROMMON image consists of a new ROMMON software image and a new FPGA image. Both are installed by following the ROMMON upgrade procedure listed below. These images are only accepted on the Cisco RFGW-10 Supervisor Engine 7-E.

Caveats

Bug	Description
CSCub34955	Symptom: On the first attempt, ROMMON for Cisco RFGW-10 Supervisor Engine 7-E fails to "dir usb0". Conditions: This issue occurs under normal conditions. Workaround: There is no workaround.

Guidelines for Upgrading the ROMMON

---

Caution If your Supervisor engine is shipped with a newer version of ROMMON then do not downgrade! The new ROMMON will have board settings based on a hardware revision of components, and old settings will not work.

---

---

Note Ensure that you run Cisco IOS-XE Release 3.3.1SQ or later releases on the Supervisor engine 7-E for using the new version of Cisco DS-384 line card (with P4080 CPU revision 3). If the Supervisor engine 7-E is running a release earlier than Cisco IOS-XE Release 3.3.1SQ, the new version of the Cisco DS-384 line card (with P4080 CPU revision 3) does not downgrade and hence, does not work.

Choosing a ROMMON image for Supervisor Engine 7-E

Table 1 provides the list of ROMMON software releases supported in various Cisco IOS Releases for the RFGW-10, along with the ROMMON image filename. To upgrade the Supervisor Engine, download the appropriate Cisco ROMMON release from Cisco.com using the below information.

Table 1 Supported Cisco ROMMON Software Releases

ROMMON Software Release	ROMMON Image Filename	Release Date	Supported Cisco IOS Release on RFGW-10
Cisco ROMMON 15.0(1r)SQ(315)	RFGW10-e-ios-rfgwufw-150-1r-SQ	October 2012	Cisco IOS Release 15.0(2)SQA

Upgrading the Supervisor Engine ROMMON

---

Caution To avoid actions that might make your system unable to boot, read this entire section before starting the upgrade.

---

Follow this procedure to upgrade your Supervisor engine ROMMON:

---

Step 1 Directly connect a serial cable to the console port of the Supervisor engine.

---

Note This section assumes that the console baud rate is set to 9600 (default). If you want to use a different baud rate, change the configuration register value for your switch.

---

Step 2 Download the RFGW-10 ROMMON image, RFGW10-e-ios-rfgwufw-150-1r-SQ, from Cisco.com, and place it on a TFTP server in a directory that is accessible from the Supervisor that is upgraded

The ROMMON image, RRFGW10-e-ios-rfgwufw-150-1r-SQ, is available at the same location from which you download Cisco RFGW-10 system images on Cisco.com.

Step 3 Use the dir bootflash: command to ensure that sufficient space exists in Flash memory to store the ROMMON upgrade image.

If you are using a CompactFlash card, replace bootflash: with slot0:

Step 4 Download the RFGW10-e-ios-rfgwufw-150-1r-SQ program into Flash memory using the
copy tftp command.

The following example shows how to download the PROM upgrade image RFGW10-e-ios-rfgwufw-150-1r-SQ from the remote host 172.20.58.78 to bootflash:

Switch# copy tftp: bootflash: 

Switch# copy tftp bootflash:

Address or name of remote host [223.255.254.254]? 

Source filename []? RFGW10-e-ios-rfgwufw-150-1r-SQ

Destination filename [RFGW10-e-ios-rfgwufw-150-1r-SQ]? 

Accessing tftp://223.255.254.254/RFGW10-e-ios-rfgwufw-150-1r-SQ...

Loading RFGW10-e-ios-rfgwufw-150-1r-SQ from 223.255.254.254 (via TenGigabitEthernet2/3): 
!!!!!!

[OK - 1296588 bytes]

1296588 bytes copied in 6.696 secs (193636 bytes/sec)

Step 5 On a dual-Supervisor system, copy the same ROMMON image to the standby Supervisor engine with the
copy bootflash:RFGW10-e-ios-rfgwufw-150-1r-SQ slavebootflash command.

Step 6 Enter the reload command to reset the switch, press Ctrl-C to stop the boot process, then re-enter ROMMON mode.

The following example shows the output after a reset into ROMMON:

Switch# reload

Proceed with reload? [confirm]

03:57:16:%SYS-5-RELOAD:Reload requested  

 Rom Monitor Program Version 12.1(12r)EW

 Network layer connectivity may take a few seconds

rommon 1 >

Step 7 Run the PROM upgrade program by entering this command:
boot bootflash:RFGW10-e-ios-rfgwufw-150-1r-SQ

The following example shows the output from a successful upgrade, followed by a system reset:

rommon 1 >b bootflash:RFGW10-e-ios-rfgwufw-150-1r-SQ

Step 8 Boot the Cisco IOS software image. This may happen automatically if the system is configured to auto-boot.

Step 9 On a redundant system, hook up a console to the now-standby Supervisor engine. After the system achieves an SSO state, repeat steps 6-8.

Step 10 Use the show version command to verify that you have upgraded the ROMMON:

switch# show version

rommon 1 >version

Primary Rom Monitor Version 15.0(1r)SQ(315) 

 Compiled Mon 24-Sep-12 13:09 by mjagatap-rfgwk10_rommon

 Supervisor: RFGW-X45-SUP7-E  Chassis: WS-CABLE_RFGW 

 CPU Rev: 2.2, Board Rev: 10, Board Type: 101

CPLD Joe  Rev: 10.0x3718.0xb565 Installed memory: 2048 MBytes

Step 11 Use the delete command on the active Supervisor to delete the PROM upgrade program from bootflash.

The following example shows how to delete RFGW10-e-ios-rfgwufw-150-1r-SQ image from bootflash:

Switch# delete bootflash:RFGW10-e-ios-rfgwufw-150-1r-SQ

Step 12 On a redundant system, also delete the upgrade file from the standby Supervisor engine.

Switch# delete slavebootflash:RFGW10-e-ios-rfgwufw-150-1r-SQ

The ROMMON has now been upgraded.
