D.1 Inband TFTP Download Procedure

General

New IPmux-1 software version can be downloaded to IPmux-1 using TFTP. There are three possible procedures:

•Users who access IPmux using Telnet can perform software download and configuration upload/download using the configuration screens. For details, see TFTP in Appendix E).

•Users who have access to the RADview Network Management – for more details refer to RADview-HPOV Network Management System for IP Applications.

•Users who access a MIB browser – the TFTP download procedure is illustrated in Figure D-1.

Figure D-1. TFTP Downloading Procedure

The IPmux-1 manager station must be equipped with a TFTP server and the new software.

Warning The procedures in this chapter should be performed only by a UNIX expert. To start downloading:

1.Set the appropriate IPmux-1 MIB parameter. IPmux-1 then sends requests to the TFTP server (where the new software resides) and receives packets of data.

2.If there is no TFTP server available to the main manager, assign a station where there is a TFTP server installed. This server becomes a secondary manager. In this case, the main manager only initiates the download process (by setting the MIB parameter), which is then performed between IPmux-1 and the

TFTP server.
