CHAPTER 15: IMAGE FILE DOWNLOAD

2.Edit the /etc/hosts file by adding the EMM-E6 MAC address and follow it with the same unique name you used in step one above. (e.g., 00:00:1d:32:0c:1b EMME6).

3.If you already have a /tftpboot directory, confirm the rarp setup of your workstation as follows:

Request a process status and grep for rarpd (e.g., unix% ps -aux grep rarpd).

The following information represents a typical output:

user	161	7.7	1.2	32	184	p3	S	12:00 grep rarpd
root	87	0.0	0.9	48	136	?	S	11:05	rarpd -a
root	88	0.0	0.0	24	0	?	IW	11:05	rarpd -a

The term rarpd -a, located at the end of the root string, indicates rarp is active. If rarp is NOT running, only the grep process appears.

4.If you do NOT have a /tftpboot directory, then you must create one (e.g., unix% mkdir tftpboot), and start the rarp daemon

(e.g., unix% rarpd -a).

5.Ensure that the /tftpboot directory is not owned (e.g., unix% chown nobody tftpboot).

6.Store the hex image file in the /tftpboot directory as emme6.hex.

NOTE

This step requires decompression of the zipped image file. If you do not have a UNIX unzip utility, access to a PC with pkunzip, or a way to FTP the decompressed image to your UNIX workstation, contact Cabletron Technical Support.
