SEHI USER’S GUIDE

APPENDIX B
IMAGE FILE DOWNLOAD USING OIDs
This appendix provides instructions for setting up a tftp server and to
download an image file to the SEHI by setting specific MIB OID strings.
Set the OID strings with the SNMP Tools screen described in Chapter 6.
The SEHI supports the Standard Local Download application. In this
application the SEHI automatically disables management while download
of the new firmware image is in progress.
Before you can download the image to a device, you must:
•
load the image file onto your network tftp server.
•
decompress the image file.
B.1
SETTING UP A UNIX WORKSTATION AS A TFTP SERVER
Due to variations between UNIX systems and individual configurations,
this section provides only GUIDELINES for configuring a UNIX
workstation to perform an image file download. The instructions include
command examples, where appropriate. Bold lettering in examples
indicates operator entry.
You can also download an image file using various remote
packages such as Cabletron’s Remote LANVIEW/Windows.
Refer to specific package documentation for image file
download procedures.
NOTE
For information on how to set up a workstation as a tftp
server, refer to your specific workstation documentation and
the guidelines outlined in this instruction guide.
