TelcoBridges repository

The operating system software upgrade is performed using yum software package manager. The repository sites providing RPM packages are configured from /etc/yum.repos.d/. TelcoBridges provides its own repository of operating system files (http://repo.telcobridges.com).

If the unit or Linux server does not have access to Internet (or does not have DNS configured), you should configure an offline repository on your local machine as explained in the section below.

Command line

Alternatively, you can ssh to the unit and run the following command:

# yum clean all
# yum update

Reboot the unit

# reboot
