Basic Configuration

• The host portion of the upgrade file location URL must be a valid IPv4 IP address.
DNS host names are not recognized. Valid IP addresses consist of four numbers,
0 to 255, separated by periods.
• The path to the directory must also be defined. If the file is stored in the root
directory for the FTP/TFTP service, then use the “/” to indicate this (e.g.,
ftp://192.168.0.1/).
• The file name must not be included in the upgrade file location URL. The file name
of the code stored on the remote server must be runtime.bix (using lower case
letters exactly as indicated here).
• The FTP connection is made with PASV mode enabled. PASV mode is needed to
traverse some fire walls, even if FTP traffic is not blocked. PASV mode cannot be
disabled.
• The switch-based search function is case-insensitive in that it will accept a file
name in upper or lower case (i.e., the switch will accept
SMC6128_52PL2_op_V1.3.5.2.BIX
from the server even though
SMC6128_52PL2_op_V1.3.5.2.bix
was requested). However, keep in mind that
the file systems of many operating systems such as Unix and most Unix-like
systems (FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, and most Linux distributions, etc.) are
case-sensitive, meaning that two files in the same directory,
SMC6128_52PL2_op_V1.3.5.2.bix
and
SMC6128_52PL2_op_V1.3.5.2.BIX
are
considered to be unique files. Thus, if the upgrade file is stored as
SMC6128_52PL2_op_V1.3.5.2.BIX
(or even
SMC6128_52PL2_op_V1.3.5.2.bix
)
on a case-sensitive server, then the switch (requesting
runtime.bix
) will not be
upgraded because the server does not recognize the requested file name and the
stored file name as being equal. A notable exception in the list of case-sensitive
Unix-like operating systems is Mac OS X, which by default is case-insensitive.
Please check the documentation for your server’s operating system if you are
unsure of its file system’s behavior.
Note that the switch itself does not distinguish between upper and lower-case file
names, and only checks to see if the file stored on the server is more recent than
the current runtime image.
• If two operation code image files are already stored on the switch’s file system,
then the non-startup image is deleted before the upgrade image is transferred.
• If the startup operation code file is named
SMC6128_52PL2_op_V1.3.5.2.bix
, then
the upgrade image will be stored as
op1.bix
, and the next upgrade image as
op2.bix
.
• The automatic upgrade process will take place in the background without impeding
normal operations (data switching, etc.) of the switch.
• During the automatic search and transfer process, the administrator cannot
transfer or update another operation code image, configuration file, public key, or
HTTPS certificate (i.e., no other concurrent file management operations are
possible).
• The upgrade operation code image is set as the startup image after it has been
successfully written to the file system.
