Upgrading to a New Firmware Release

Perform the following steps to upgrade to a new firmware release:

1. Download the new firmware from Cisco.com Software Center at http://www.cisco.com/cisco/software/navigator.html.

Choose Products -> Routers -> Branch Routers -> Cisco 800 Series Routers -> Cisco 866VAE-W Integrated Services Router (or Cisco 867 VAE-W Integrated Services Router) -> Very High Bitrate DSL (VDSL) Firmware > VAEW_A_39f1_B_39d_24g1.SSA.bin

2. Copy the VAEW_A_39f1_B_39d_24g1.SSA.bin firmware to a designated location; for example, router flash or a TFTP server.

3. Configure the router to load the new firmware from a designated location.

Router# configure terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.
