Upgrading the NAM Software

This section describes how to upgrade the NAM software. This task is performed from the NAM CLI.

NAM Software Images

The NM-NAM contains three NAM software images:

• NAM application image on the hard drive—Source of the NAM Traffic Analyzer and NAM CLI

• Helper image in flash memory—Used to recover or upgrade NAM software images

• Bootloader image in flash memory—Used to specify whether to boot the NAM application image

or the helper image

Types of NAM Software Upgrades

NAM software upgrades are available in two forms:

• Patches—Incremental updates to software releases that are installed with the patch NAM CLI

command. Patches are available only for the NAM application image.

• Images—Full image releases that are installed from the helper image. Full image upgrades are

typically used to update the NAM application image, but if necessary and recommended by technical

support, you can also use the helper image to upgrade the bootloader image or helper image.

Prerequisites

• Download the NAM software image from Cisco.com, and copy the image to an FTP server.

• Before performing this task, access the NAM console by completing Step 1 through Step 5 in the

“Opening and Closing a NAM Console Session from the Router” section on page 18.

Perform one of the following tasks in this section, depending on whether you are adding a patch to your

NAM application or are performing a full software image upgrade:

• Upgrading the NAM Software—Patch, page 41

• Upgrading the NAM Software—Full Image, page 42
