Using SNMP to upgrade software

NOTE
The syntax shown in this section assumes that you have installed HP OpenView in the “/usr”
directory.
NOTE
Brocade recommends that you make a backup copy of the startup-config file before you upgrade the
software. If you need to run an older release, you will need to use the backup copy of the
startup-config file.
1. Configure a read-write community string on the Brocade device, if one is not already
configured. To configure a read-write community string, enter the following command from the
global CONFIG level of the CLI.
snmp-server community ro | rw
where is the community string and can be up to 32 characters long.
2. On the Brocade device, enter the following command from the global CONFIG level of the CLI.
no snmp-server pw-check
This command disables password checking for SNMP set requests. If a third-party SNMP
management application does not add a password to the password field when it sends SNMP
set requests to a Brocade device, by default the Brocade device rejects the request.
3. From the command prompt in the UNIX shell, enter the following command.
/usr/OV/bin/snmpset -c 1.3.6.1.4.1.1991.1.1.2.1.5.0
ipaddress 1.3.6.1.4.1.1991.1.1.2.1.6.0 octetstringascii
