Programming software upgrades remotely

Starting with software release 2.3RT, you can initiate the code download and initialization remotely using SNMP commands. The Menu-4 download utility commands, download method (TFTP or Xmodem) and schedule date and time, have associated SNMP variables in the eclipse MIB.

The sample script shown below illustrates a remote TFTP download:

#!/bin/ksh

NODE="172.25.150.1"

BIN_FILE="074-04240-01sr2.3RT.bin"

snmpset $NODE .1.3.6.1.4.1.300.200.2.49.1.0 integer 1 tftp $NODE <<EOT

bin

put $BIN_FILE quit
