798 CHAPTER 73: BIMS CONFIGURATION6 The device verifies the device software obtained from the BIMS center andupdates it to the local. Then the device sends an acknowledgement to the BIMScenter.7 Upon receipt of the acknowledgement, the BIMS center logs the event and sendsback a response.BIMS DeviceConfiguration TasksBIMS is a convenient management tool. It provides an intelligent function forupgrading the configuration file and applications. BIMS device configurationinvolves the following two parts:■ Basic configuration. For details, see “Basic Configuration of BIMS Device” onpage 798.■ Configuration of BIMS access mode. For details, see “Configuring BIMS AccessMode” on page 799.c CAUTION:■ When you use the BIMS device to upgrade the host software and configurationfile, the name of the file downloaded and saved to the local device is the sameas that on the BIMS device.■ If the device experiences power failure during the upgrade of host software orconfiguration file, it is possible that old host software or configuration file isdeleted and the new file is not saved yet. In this case, the upgrade will fail, theconfiguration on the device will be lost, and eventually the BIMS cannotmanage the device.Basic Configuration ofBIMS Devicec CAUTION: The same port number must be configured on the BIMS device and onthe BIMS center.Table 632 BIMS device basic configurationOperation Command DescriptionEnter system view system-view -Enable BIMS on thedevicebims enable RequiredBy default, BIMS is disabled on thedevice.Configure the uniqueidentifier of the devicebims device-id string RequiredBy default, no unique identifier ofthe device is configured.Configure the IPaddress and portnumber of the BIMScenterbims ip address ip-address[ port portnumber ]RequiredBy default, no IP address and portnumber of the BIMS center areconfigured.Configure the sharedkey between the BIMSdevice and BIMS centerbims sharekey { simple |cipher } sharekeyRequiredBy default, no shared key isconfigured.Configure the source IPaddress in the packetsent by the BIMS devicebims source ip-addressip-addressOptionalBy default, no source IP address inthe packet sent by the BIMS device isconfigured.
