D.1 Inband TFTP Download Procedure

General

New IPmux-16 software version can be downloaded to the IPmux-16 using TFTP.
There are three procedures possible:
Users who access IPmux-16 using Telnet can perform software download and
configuration upload/download using the configuration screens. For details,
see TFTP in Chapter 3.
Users who have access to the RADview Network Management. For more
details refer to RADview-HPOV Network Management System for IP
Applications.
Users who access a MIB browser. The TFTP downloading procedure is
illustrated in Figure D-1.

Figure D-1. TFTP Downloading Procedure
The IPmux-16 manager station must be equipped with a TFTP server and
the new software.
The procedures in this chapter should be performed only by a UNIX expert.
To start download:
1. Set the appropriate IPmux-16 MIB parameter. The IPmux-16 then sends
requests to the TFTP server (where the new software resides) and receives
packets of data.
2. If there is no TFTP server available to the main manager, assign a station where
there is a TFTP server installed. This server becomes a secondary manager. In
this case, the main manager only initiates the download process (by setting the
MIB parameter), which is then performed between the IPmux-16 and the
TFTP server.
