Enterasys Networks X-PeditionTM Fault Reporting, Auto-discovery, Using the CLI for Downloads

Network Management Tools

Using the CLI for Downloads

TFTP can be used to transfer system firmware to the XSR remotely. A TFTP server must be running on the remote machine and the firmware image file must reside in the TFTP root directory of the server when using the copy tftp filename command.

Using SNMP for Downloads

You can use an SNMP manager to download or upload firmware from a remote server, and copy a configuration image file to the XSR. Only run-time/online mode downloads are supported. This requires setting the ctDLNetAddress and ctDLFileName objects and issuing a ctDLOnLineDownLoad defined in the CTRON-DOWNLOAD-MIB.

Fault Reporting

A fault report can be uploaded through TFTP. The mechanism to upload the crash report is the same as the one used to upload configuration file. Refer to “Performing Fault Management” on page 2-23for more information.

Auto-discovery

The NetSight Gateway Management Tool can auto-discover an XSR on the network using SNMP with the following MIB variables:

•SysDesr

•SysObjID

•Sysuptime

NetSight also performs auto-discovery via ping using ICMP ping.
