Procedure 47
Reinstall the software using the .IMG image
This method installs the IMG version of the software using TFTP or FTP. This
reinstall overwrites the current configuration. In this procedure, you instruct the
SMC to use a specific network interface and use a specific IP address to pull
the Image file from the TFTP or FTP server.
To reinstall the software using FTP/SCP/SFTP, you need the following:
• Access to the SMC through a direct connection to its serial port. You
cannot use remote Telnet or SSH connections for reinstalling
software.
• An .IMG file loaded on a FTP/SCP/SFTP server on the network.
• The host name or IP address of the FTP/SCP/SFTP server.
• The name of the .IMG file.
• This process assumes that FTP and TFTP are enabled on the SMC.
