Upgrading and Maintaining the Cisco 6015 System


This chapter describes upgrade and maintenance procedures for the Cisco 6015 system.

7.1 Backing Up Software

Cisco recommends that you maintain, on a TFTP server, current copies of three files for each Cisco 6015 system:

If you keep copies of these files on a TFTP server, you can easily recover from a fault in an NI-2 card. You can simply replace the NI-2 card and download the software image and configuration file from the TFTP server. Remember to update your backup files whenever you change your configuration or upgrade your Cisco IOS software.

Complete the following steps to copy the Cisco IOS software image and configuration file to a TFTP server:


Step 1   Log into the Cisco 6015 node whose software you wish to back up.

Step 2   Enter the dir command to display the names of the files:

6015# dir

Step 3   Enter a copy command to copy the IOS software file to the node's TFTP server:

6015# copy flash:<image-name> tftp

Step 4   Enter a second copy command to copy the configuration file to the node's TFTP server:

6015# copy running-config tftp



7.2 Installing and Replacing Hardware

This section details the installation and removal procedures for the following field replaceable unit (FRU) hardware components:


Tip See the "General Maintenance Guidelines" section for installation and replacement practices for the Cisco 6015 system cards and modules.
