Updating the PMC Firmware NOTE: The following procedure uses NET-SNMP, a free SNMP tool for Linux
systems, available at www.net-snmp.org, as an example.
1
Use the TFTP server to upload the PMC firmware image into the PMC
EEPROM.
2
Launch the NET-SNMP utility.
3
Use the snmpset command to update the firmware:
a
To set TFTP Server IP address, enter the following commands.
snmpset -v 2c -c community target_ip .1.3.6.1.4.1.674.20.50.6.0 a
server_ip
b
To set Image File Name, enter the following commands:
snmpset -v 2c -c community target_ip .1.3.6.1.4.1.674.20.50.7.0 s
image_file
c
To upgrade PMC firmware, entering the following commands:
snmpset -v 2c -c community target_ip .1.3.6.1.4.1.674.20.50.500.1.0

NOTE: The snmpset community property command depends on the community
string data in the PMC Configuration Information. The default SNMP community
string is public.
Sample output:
[root@localhost ~]# snmpset -v 2c -c private 10.32.49.67.1.3.6.1.4.1.674.20.50.6.0 a
10.32.49.64 <- Set TFTP Server IP
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.674.20.50.6.0 = IpAddress: 10.32.49.64
[root@localhost ~]# snmpset -v 2c -c private 10.32.49.67.1.3.6.1.4.1.674.20.50.7.0 s
pmc.01.A.045.01.01.0001.bin <- Set Image File Name
SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.674.20.50.7.0 = STRING: "pmc.01.A.045.01.01.0001.bin"
[root@localhost ~]# snmpset -v 2c -c private 10.32.49.67.1.3.6.1.4.1.674.20.50.500.1.0 i
