6.2 Updating Firmware via Ethernet
To update firmware via the Ethernet, the ‘‘client’’ system (the target system
to be updated) and the ‘‘server’’ system (the system that serves boot requests)
must be on the same Ethernet segment. The Maintenance Operation Protocol
(MOP) is the transport used to copy the network image.
Use the following procedure to update firmware via the Ethernet:
1. Be sure H3604 jumper W4 is in the correct ("write enable mode") position
(Section 6.1).
2. Enable the server system’s NCP circuit using the following OpenVMS
commands:
$ MCR NCP
NCP>SET CIRCUIT <circuit> STATE OFF
NCP>SET CIRCUIT <circuit> SERVICE ENABLED
NCP>SET CIRCUIT <circuit> STATE ON
