CHAPTER 15: IMAGE FILE DOWNLOAD15-8EMM-E6 User's Guide15.4 REMOTE RUNTIME DOWNLOADTable 15-2 provides a step by step procedure for downloading thefirmware image file. This section provides specific MIB OIDs, theirnames, and the required setting for proper image file download. Refer toyour specific MIB walking tool documentation for instructions on how toset MIB OID strings.The Download OIDs for Cabletron products reside in Cabletronenterprise MIBs (group 52). The specific OIDs necessary to perform animage file download reside in the common download group underctDL (Cabletron Download). The full OID string to reach this group is:1.3.6.1.4.1.52.4.1.5.8.1When performing the steps in Table 15-2 keep the following in mind:• You must follow the steps in order.• Enter the IP address of the tftp server in standard dotted decimalnotation (e.g., 132.177.118.24).• Enter the FULL path to the image file in the ctDLTFTPRequest OID,including the name of the image file (e.g., c:\tftpboot\EMME6.fls).If the Runtime Download is interrupted, the Firmware Imagein Flash memory will be erased. The EMM-E6 will continueto operate until it is either Reset or Powered OFF and ON.After either of these events, the EMM-E6 can download aFirmware Image from a BootP server ONLY! The process ofconfiguring a BootP Server is discussed at length inCabletron’s “Installing and Using Remote LANVIEW forWindows”. Although Runtime Download is a powerfulnetwork operations & firmware management feature, carefulconsideration should be given to both the timing (best whennetwork usage is lowest) and network stability (especiallydownloads over a WAN link) at the time of the planneddownload.NOTE
