7. Click OK to confirm. The upgrade process begins and takes about one minute to
complete. At the conclusion of the upgrade process, the device automatically reboots
and the new software version runs.
If a new version is unavailable, click the Check Now button to perform an immediate
check (instead of waiting for the next scheduled one). The screen displays a green
"Check in progress..." message.
Notes:
•
For additional security, the device can be configured to use HTTPS client-
server certification when connecting to a remote server (see Section
13.3 on
page 232 ).
•
The configuration file can have one of the following two formats: a hierarchical
conf file (indicated by file extension *.conf) or a flat ini file (indicated by file
extension .ini).
•
The parameter ‘/rmt_config/version’ defines the version of the configuration file.
The device uses the new configuration file only if the version that is defined in
this file is later than the current version. By default, the ‘version’ is set to 0. This
means that each time Service Providers’ operations personnel require the
device to download a new configuration file, they need to increment the
‘version’ parameter in the new file (in the .conf file, the ‘version’ parameter is
under the section ‘rmt_config’). To simplify the procedure, it is possible to use
the current date in YYYYMMDD format as the version field.
•
The remote configuration file must include only a subset of the complete
MP20x.conf file. A recommended procedure is to start with the device restored
to its factory settings, modify using the embedded Web server the parameters
that should appear in the remote configuration file, and then upload (save) the
configuration file. You must save only the modified parameters, as described in
'Remote Administration' on page
291 .
•
The string <MAC> enables the ISP to pre-configure all its deployed the devices
with the same URL and file details (under rmt_config/url) and still have each
device download its unique configuration file. Once the URL is configured with
the string <MAC>, the device that is trying to update its configuration file
automatically replaces <MAC> with its own unique MAC address. For example,
if there’s a device with a WAN MAC address 00:01:02:03:04:05, the ISP can
configure the url to http://myserver.com/my_conf_file_<MAC>.conf - and place
a file called ‘my_conf_file_00_01_02_03_04_05.conf’ on the server.
•
Downloading a configuration file from a remote server can also be performed
from the CLI:
1) Using Telnet, access the device, and then enter the user name and
password.
2) Enter the command
rmt_config , for example:
rmt_config –u http://myserver.com/my_conf_file.conf
3) Enter
rmt_config without any arguments for more help information.
