IPmux-1Installation and Operation Manual

 

 

Preliminary Procedure

Before performing TFTP download:

1.Ping IPmux-1 from the station running the TFTP server to ensure that IPmux-1 has communication with the machine.

2.Log in as SUPERUSER (su).

3.Edit the file named inetd.conf found at the /etc directory, as follows:

Search for the line starting with a # sign followed by tftp, for example, # tftp and delete the # sign.

At the end of that line, there is -S <directory name>.

In <directory name> specify only the path to the file that is to be downloaded to the IPmux-1; for example, /export/home/demo/tftp).

4.Save modified file inetd.conf and INIT the Unix machine; for example, in Solaris type init 0 (not the same for SunOS or IRIX or HP-Unix).

5.After the Station reboots, type ovw & to open HPOV.

6.Open the MIB browser under MISC Æ SNMP MIB BROWSER.

7.Type iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.rad.radGen. agnt.filetranster; The Browse MIB window showing the Agent IP and Server IP addresses is displayed (see Figure D-3).
