Table D-1. File Transfer
File Transfer Method Type of Connection
TFTP Get command from the IBM 2216 to the workstation
that has the binary configuration file, to download
operational software images and configuration files to the
IBM 2216. Files sent using TFTP must be binary, or the
IBM 2216 cannot use them. Use the Create command of
the Configuration Program to save configuration files in
binary format before downloading them to the IBM 2216.
After the IBM 2216 is operational in the network, you can
use the TFTP Put command over IP to upload a file from
the IBM 2216 to a workstation. The file will be uploaded in
binary format. Both operational software and configuration
files can be uploaded.
Use the Read router configuration option of the
Configuration Program to make an uploaded configuration
file usable by the Configuration Program so that you can
change some parameter values in it.
Note: Using TFTP Put is a way to retrieve files from the
IBM 2216 if the Retrieve option of the Configuration
Program is not available.
1. SLIP connection (using
the TFTP Get command
to download files to the
IBM 2216).
2. IP connection of
operational IBM 2216
over functioning network
(using the TFTP Get
and Put commands to
download and upload
files).
Xmodem in ProComm or an equivalent communications
program from the workstation. This method uses ASCII
terminal emulation and can download files to the IBM 2216.
The IBM 2216 does not have to be operational in the
network to use this method. Configuration and operational
files must be in binary format to be used by the IBM 2216.
Note: This is a second way to retrieve files from the IBM
2216 if the Retrieve option of the Configuration Program is
not available.
Serial connection through a
modem (PCMCIA or an
external modem) or through
a null modem.
The Communications Option of the Configuration Program
(actually, the protocol for this is SNMP). This method
cannot be used until the IBM 2216 is operational in the
network. The files are not binary, but are in a format that is
internal to the Configuration Program. This function can
send configuration files to the IBM 2216 and retrieve them
from the server.
Note: The Retrieve Option is available only in the version
of the Configuration Program that runs in the AIX
environment.
IP connection of operational
IBM 2216 over functioning
network.
