APPENDIX B

IMAGE FILE DOWNLOAD USING OIDs

This appendix provides instructions for setting up a TFTP server and to download an image file to the SEHI by setting specific MIB OID strings. Set the OID strings with the SNMP Tools screen described in Chapter 7, Section 7.8.

NOTE

Download an image file to the SEHI with a remote management package such as SPECTRUM, SPECTRUM Element Manager, or the appropriate SPECTRUM Portable Management Application. Refer to the specific package documentation for image file download procedures.

The SEHI supports the Standard TFTP Download application. In this application the SEHI automatically goes offline during the image download. After the download, the SEHI programs FLASH, then reboots with the new image.

Before downloading the image to the SEHI, you must complete the following steps:

1.Decompress the image file on a DOS PC using the PKUNZIP utility included with the image.

NOTE

The PKUNZIP utility requires a DOS PC. You must decompress the image file on the DOS PC before you load the image file onto the TFTP server.

2. Load the decompressed image file onto the TFTP server.

NOTE

For information on how to set up a workstation as a TFTP server, refer to your specific workstation documentation. These instructions include limited information and guidelines for setting up a UNIX workstation to work as a TFTP server.
