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.

Warning 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.
