    Introduction

    This document describes steps to upgrade Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN) module on Cisco 1000 Series Connected Grid Router (CGR). 

    Prerequisites

    Requirements

    There are no specific requirements for this document.

    Components Used

    The information in this document is based on these software and hardware versions:

    • CGM-WPAN-FSK-NA
    • CGR-1120
    • CGR-1240
    • IOS and CG-OS

    The information in this document was created from the devices in a specific lab environment. All of the devices used in this document started with a cleared (default) configuration. If your network is live, make sure that you understand the potential impact of any command.

    Upgrade Steps for WPAN Firmware

    There are two ways to upgrade WPAN firmware :

    1. Upgrade from WPAN firmware image integrated within IOS/CGOS CGR image.

    2. Upgrade from Non-integrated standalone WPAN firmware image.

    Note:  WPAN in CGR IOS supports WPAN 5.x firmware only. It does not support WPAN 3.7 (c1222r). WPAN in CGR CGOS supports latest CG-Mesh firmware branches 5.5.x, 5.5.7 or later.

    Upgrade from WPAN Firmware Image Integrated within IOS/CGOS CGR Image

    Step 1. Install the release firmware

    For IOS

    Router (config-if)# install-firmware release

    For CGOS

    Router (config-if)# install firmware release

    Step 2. Reload the the WPAN module

    For IOS

    Router# hw reload <slot> 

    For CGOS

    Router# reload module <module >

    Step 3. Check WPAN hardware version

    Ensure that feature c1222r is disabled before you run this CLI.

    Router(config)# no feature c1222r      // not necessary if already disabled

    For IOS

    Router #show wpan 3/1 hardware version

    firmware version: 5.5.80, apps/bridge, master, 1ca0551, Feb 10 2015

    For CGOS

    Router# show wpan in-hardware version

    version: 5.1.8, test/bridge, cg-mesh-5.1.8, dd91722, Sep  5 2012

    Use FND to install firmward for IOS CGR.

    1. Upload the CGR IOS image integrated with WPAN Firmware image to the NMS

    2. Upload the image with the checkbox Install WPAN module from this bundle selected to the routers in the group.

    3. After the image has been successfully transferred to the devices, install the images on the router. And after successful completion the WPAN modules should have been upgraded .

    Upgrade from Non-integrated Standalone WPAN Firmware Image

    Use this procedure to upgrade the WPAN to a non-integrated, custom firmware:

    Step 1. Install the non-integrated firmware

    For IOS

    Router(config-if)#install firmware <firmware-filename>

    For CGOS

    Router(config-if)# install-firmware <firmware-filename>

    Step 2.  Reload the the WPAN module

    For IOS

    Router# hw reload <slot> 

    For CGOS

    Router# reload module <module >

    Step 3. Check WPAN hardware version

    For IOS

    Router #show wpan 3/1 hardware version

    firmware version: 5.5.80, apps/bridge, master, 1ca0551, Feb 10 2015

    For CGOS

    AST05-CGR# show wpan in-hardware version

    version: 5.1.8, test/bridge, cg-mesh-5.1.8, dd91722, Sep  5 2012

    Use FND to install image on WPAN module for IOS CGR.

    WPAN images can exist independent of the IOS images and hence they can be uploaded and installed on the router directly. WPAN images currently have two different types - one for RF WPAN card and the other for PLC WPAN card. Only one image upload and install image would be handled at a time on WPAN module.

    1. Upload the WPAN firmware image(s) to the Network Management Systems (NMS) (this is already talked about).

    2. Upload the WPAN firmware image (PLC or RF) from the NMS to the routers of the selected group.

    3. After the image has been successfully transferred to the devices, install the images on the router. For WPAN firmware images, even if the version installed and the version uploaded are same, the image is still installed (unlike the treatment of other images like IOS integrated image).

    Upgrade WPAN Firmware from 3.7 to 5.0 in CGOS

    Step 1. Ensure you have WPAN 3.7 with feature c1222r enabled


    Check that feature c1222r is enabled, and WPAN firmware is 3.7 with CommModuleVersion 14.58 (refer to 'How to determine current WPAN firmware version' section).


    Step 2. Install WPAN 5.0 release firmware

    Routerr# conf t
    Router(config)# interface wpan 4/1
    router(config-if)# install firmware release

    Note: Firmware upgrade starting... this may take several minutes...
    Installed the wpan firmware successfully. Reload the wpan module!!


    Step 3.  Turn off feature c1222r


    You must turn off the feature c1222r (which is for wpan 3.7) so that wpan 5.0 can take over.

    Router(config)# no feature c1222r


    Step 4.  Reload the WPAN module


    After reload the wpan module, the new firmware takes effect.

    Router(config)# reload module 4

    Example: Upgrade Firmware from 3.7 to 5.0

    Router# conf t
Router(config)# feature c1222r
Router(config)# show c1222r info global
  Build:
    Version                              : 1.1.7.0 May  8 2012 15:02:39
    CommModuleVersion                    : 14.58
Router(config)# interface wpan 4/1
Router(config-if)# install firmware release
Note: Firmware upgrade starting... this may take several minutes...
Installed the wpan firmware successfully. Reload the wpan module!!
Router(config-if)#
Router(config-if)# exit
Router(config)# no feature c1222r
Router(config)# reload module 4
Router(config)# show wpan in-hardware version
version: 5.0.75, test/bridge, cg-mesh-5.0.75, 8716ac2, Apr 27 2012

    Upgrade WPAN Firmware from 5.0 to 3.7 in CGOS

    Step 1.  Ensure you have WPAN 5.0 with feature c1222r disabled

    Check that feature c1222r is disabled, and WPAN firmware is 5.0. (refer to 'How to determine current WPAN firmware version' section).

    Step 2.  Install 3.7 firmware

    Config t

    Int WPAN 4/1

    install firmware <>

    Step 3. Turn on feature c1222r

    You must turn on the feature c1222r for wpan 3.7 to be enabled.

    Step 4.  Reload the WPAN module

    After reload the wpan module, the new firmware takes effect.

    Example: Upgrade firmware from 5.0 to 3.7

    router# show wpan in-hardware version
version: 5.1.8, test/bridge, cg-mesh-5.1.8, dd91722, Sep  5 2012
router# conf t
router(config)# interface wpan 4/1
router(config-if)# install firmware to_3_7F
Note: Firmware upgrade starting... this may take several minutes...
Installed the wpan firmware successfully. Reload the wpan module!!
