Step #3: Initiate Upgrade Process
Software Upgrade via SNMP
Use the following procedure to upgrade a CM 100 using an SNMP
manager.
1. Select cable modem device to be upgraded.
2. Select the DocsDev MIB Object ID.
3. Select the Docs_Software MIB Object ID. The SNMP manager
displays the softwareInfo Table.
4. Set the Server (docsDevSwServer) IP Address to the IP Address of the
TFTP server.
5. Set the Filename (docsDevSWFilename) to the filename of the upgrade
software that you copied into the TFTP server’s default directory. Enter
only the filename. Do not enter the full path to the TFTP server’s public
directory.
Caution: All parameters must be set exactly as stated. Verify that all
previous steps are complete and accurate, especially file names and IP
Addresses. Verify that the TFTP server is ON and the loadable files are in
the TFTP server’s public directory.
6. Initiate the upgrade process by setting the AdminStatus MIB
(docsDevSWAdminStatus) to upgradeFromMgt.
You can monitor the process if your TFTP server has a display window, or
returns status information to you. The process takes about one minute.
The modem will reset itself during this process. To verify that the software
loaded correctly, examine the SysDescr MIB object, which shows the
software revision.
