Acquiring the Latest Microcode | IBM SG24-4817-00 specification

This soft copy for use by IBM employees only.

−Adds PVC support to its multipoint capabilities which were previously SVC only. This includes both permanent virtual circuits and permanent virtual paths. Configuration requires only root and leaf addresses; intervening switches need not be changed.

6.4.2Acquiring the Latest Microcode

The IBM 8285 Nways ATM Workgroup Switch is designed to easily accommodate evolving standards and additional capabilities. All operating code can be easily upgraded by downloading the code from a TFTP server, either in-band or via a SLIP connection.

These code updates can be obtained from several sources:

•

•

•

Via the IBM Networking Home Page

From the PC Company′s BBS servers

Via traditional software support by calling 1-800-237-5511 and ordering P/N 51H4869, EC E28199. Make sure you have your customer number handy.

•Via the TOOLS disk (Internal Use Only)

6.4.2.1 Downloading from the World Wide Web
