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.

1Use the TFTP server to upload the PMC firmware image into the PMC EEPROM.

2Launch the NET-SNMP utility.

3Use the snmpset command to update the firmware:

aTo 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

bTo 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

cTo 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 i 1

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 1 <- Upgrade Firmware

SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.674.20.50.500.1.0 = INTEGER: 1
