Appendix C: Bulk Configuration or Firmware Upgrade via DHCP/TFTP
556
Bulk Configuration/Upgrade Procedure
Any firmware downgrade using "fwupdate.cfg" is NOT supported by
default. Only firmware upgrade is permitted with "fwupdate.cfg". A
special parameter is required to permit firmware downgrade via
"fwupdate.cfg". See
fwupdate.cfg (on page 542).
Therefore, firmware "downgrade" via DHCP/TFTP is disallowed by
default.
Steps of using DHCP/TFTP for bulk configuration/upgrade:
1. Create configuration files specific to your SRC models and firmware
versions. See
Configuration Files
(on page 541) or contact Raritan
Technical Support to properly prepare some or all of the following
files:

fwupdate.cfg (always required)

config.txt

devices.csv
Note: Supported syntax of "fwupdate.cfg" and "config.txt" may vary
based on different firmware versions. If you have existing
configuration files, it is suggested to double check with Raritan
Technical Support for the correctness of these files prior to using
this feature.
2. Configure your TFTP server properly. See TFTP Requirements (on
page 556).
3. Copy ALL required configuration files into the TFTP root directory. If
the tasks you will perform include firmware upgrade, an appropriate
firmware binary file is also required.
4. Properly configure your DHCP server so that it refers to the file
"fwupdate.cfg" on the TFTP server for your SRC.
Click one or more of the following links for detailed DHCP
configuration instructions, based on your operating system and the
IP address type.

5. Make sure all of the desired SRC devices use DHCP as the IP
configuration method and have been
directly connected to the
network.
