Upgrading the firmware 273
Using TFTP for firmware upgrades
To upgrade the firmware using TFTP, you need a TFTP service application on the workstation or server that
will be used to perform upgrades. After the TFTP has been enabled, then begin the upgrade.
Before beginning the upgrade procedure, be sure that the Secure TFTP Server is installed and that the GET
access permissions for the folder that the updated file is in is selected. Also, be sure that the HP IP Console
Switch is on the same network as the computer that is being used for the upgrade.
For Windows® operating systems, follow the instructions in the \TFTP\TFTP Install Instructions.txt file on
the CD included with this kit or the Softpaq TFTP directory.
For Linux operating systems see "TFTP for Linux operating systems (on page
273

TFTP for Linux operating systems
For most systems using RPM packages, TFTP is provided by the TFTP server RPM (RPM-
IVH/Redhat/RPMS/). Depending on the type of distribution, the Internet services daemon is provided by
xinetd.
NOTE:
The following Linux example uses Red Hat 3.0. For more information, refer to your
Linux operating system's HELP or documentation.
NOTE:
By default, TFTP executes in secure mode and only provides readable files under the
/tftpboot directory. Other directories can be specified through the /etc/xinetd.d/tftp files. In
secure mode, TFTP expects the file to be relative to the /tftpboot directory.
