Firmware Servers Configuration
The Mediatrix 1204 must know the IP address and port number of its Primary and Secondary firmware servers.
These servers contain the files required for the firmware update. You can assign these information to the
Mediatrix 1204 through a DHCP server or manually enter them yourself.
X
To set the firmware download server parameters:
1. In the web interface, click the Management link, then the Firmware Download sub-link.
Figure 24: Management – Firmware Download Web Page
2. Select the configuration source of the firmware file information in the Firmware Download Server
Source choices.
3. Set the transfer protocol to use in the Firmware Download Protocol field.
You have the choice between tftp and http .
Your HTTP server may activate some caching mechanism for the firmware download. This
mechanism caches the initial firmware download for later processing, thus preventing changes or
update of the original download by the user. This can cause problems if a user wants to modify the
firmware download and perform it again immediately. The result will still return the original download
and not the new one.
Table 37: Configuration File Information Sources
Source Description
Static You manually enter the value and it remains the same every time the Mediatrix 1204
restarts. Use the static configuration if you are not using a DHCP server or if you want
to bypass it.
DHCP The value is obtained at start-time by querying a DHCP server and using standard
DHCP fields or options. Using the DHCP configuration assumes that you have properly
set your DHCP server with the relevant information. See
“Chapter 8 - IP Address and
Network Configuration” on page 117 for more details.
