Setting up a TFTP server or HTTP server for LSP software
download, if desired
The Communication Manager software CD-ROM can be used to load software on each LSP
prior to running the upgrade, but this method requires the physical insertion of the CD-ROM into
a CD-ROM drive attached to each LSP’s S8300 server. Alternatively, the customer can set up
one or more TFTP servers from which to download Communication Manager software to each
LSP. However, the TFTP server or servers must be accessible to all LSPs over the WAN.
Additionally, the file structure should be installed on the TFTP server so it matches the format of
the CDROM. This means that, within the outgoing root directory of the TFTP server, a
/Releases subdirectory must be established and all software or firmware should copied to the
TFTP server should be copied as subdirectories and files under the /Releases directory.
As another alternative, the customer can set up a Web server to be used to distribute the files.
The file structure should be installed on the HTTP server so it matches the format of the
Communication Manager software distribution CD. The source directory should be designated
as URL of the web server followed by full path name to the
/Releases directory. Example (http:/
/www.acme-home.com/upgrades/Releases).
Note:
Note:
Use of the TFTP server should be within the local LAN segment. Downloading
the Communication Manager software over a WAN is not recommended because
a TFTP server can time out, and the download can fail.
Additionally, the bandwidth of the WAN should be large because the
Communication Manager software files are very large ó with some files up to 72
Megabytes (MB) in size and a cumulative total for all files of over 400 MB.
Note:
Note:
To upgrade the firmware on the media gateway or its media modules, you can
download the firmware from a TFTP server only. This TFTP server can be the
/tftpboot directory on an S8300 Media Server or a TFTP directory on any server
that is accessible over the LAN to the media gateway.
An HTTP server cannot be used for firmware downloads to the media gateway or
its media modules.
