Once a patch is in DRAMmemory, it can be activated, deactivated, and its status can be monitored.Perform the following tasks prior to loading a patch:1. Check that the patch matches the platform’s CPU type.2. Check the loadware version on the card.3. Block the installation if there is a mismatch.The installation of a patch is blocked if either the CPU type or the loadwareversion of the IP trunk card is different than the patch. If the installation isblocked, the reason for blocking the install is printed at the CLI. The CPUtype and loadware version are also checked during a power-up or rebootcycle. This prevents active patches from being re-installed if the loadwareversion of the IP trunk card is changed.Table 67 "Patch commands" (page 411) lists the patch commands.Table 67Patch commandsCommand Description]pload Loads a patch file from the file system in Flash memory into DRAM memory.The loaded patch is inactive until it is put into service using the pins command.When a patch is successfully loaded, the pload command returns a patchhandle number.
