Appendix D TFTP Download Procedures

IPmux-1Installation and Operation Manual

 

 

Preliminary Procedure

Before performing TFTP download:

1.Ping IPmux-1/1E from the station running the TFTP server to ensure that IPmux-1/1E has communication with the machine.

2.Log in as SUPERUSER (su).

3.Edit the file named inetd.conf found at the /etc directory, as follows:

Search for the line starting with a # sign followed by tftp, for example, # tftp and delete the # sign.

At the end of that line, there is -S <directory name>.

In <directory name> specify only the path to the file that is to be downloaded to the IPmux-1; for example, /export/home/demo/tftp).

4.Save modified file inetd.conf and INIT the Unix machine; for example, in Solaris type init 0 (not the same for SunOS or IRIX or HP-Unix).

5.After the Station reboots, type ovw & to open HPOV.

6.Open the MIB Browser under MISC Æ SNMP MIB BROWSER.

7.Type iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.rad.radGen. agnt.filetranster; The Browse MIB window showing the Agent IP and Server IP addresses is displayed.

The fields in are:

fileServerIP: Specify the IP address of the TFTP server where the software file resides.

fileName: Specify the file name containing the new software version, including any path to the file. This name must be under the root directory where the TFTP server was initiated. The name can be up to 12 characters in length; for example, anteappl.cmp.

fileTransCmd: Set this parameter to sw download (Entry Number 1) to start software download.

tftpRetryTimeOut: Specify the desired time interval, in seconds, between retries (default = 15).

tftpTotalOut: Specify the retry duration, in seconds (default = 60).

Set the MIB Instance field to 0 (zero).

Downloading should take between 60 to 120 seconds.
