Cisco Cisco Aironet 340 Ethernet Bridges Guia Do Utilizador

Use the find option to blink the amber indicators of the bridge on and 
off. Find a unit you can telnet to if you are not sure of it’s exact loca-
tion. Type “CTRL-C” to stop the command.

Use the ping option to test infrastructure connectivity from the bridge to 
other IP nodes. The ping option sends an ICMP echo_request packet to a 
user-specified remote node. If the remote node receives the packet it 
will also respond with an ICMP echo_response packet. 

The Aironet 340 Series Bridge will send the echo_response packet and 
wait 3 seconds for a response. If none is received, another echo packet is 
sent. This is repeated up to five times. If a response is received and a 
message is displayed, the command disappears from the screen. Type 
“CTRL-C” to stop the command. 

The Aironet 340 Series Bridge code and configuration are stored in a 
flash memory chip inside the unit. Use the load option to load new code 
versions of the Aironet 340 Series Bridge’s firmware or configurations 
and save them to flash memory. 

To load new versions of the firmware, the code must be loaded into main 
memory first, then programmed into the flash memory. The unit will 
reboot using the new firmware. The flash memory will retain the new 
version even if the power is disconnected.

If the file downloaded begins with the string “! CONFIGURATION” 
then the file is considered to be a text file with lines of commands that 
are executed as though the were typed at the console.

The new firmware or configuration can be downloaded into the unit 
using: 

n FTP: Load the new file into a single unit using either the Xmodem 

or FTP protocols. Then use the FTP protocol to upload (send) the 
file from the local unit to other remote units on the infrastructure.

n Distribute: Load the new file into a single unit using either the
