Updating the FCB Firmware

NOTE:

The following procedure uses NET-SNMP, a free SNMP tool for Linux

systems, available at www.net-snmp.org, as an example.

NOTE:

The snmpset community property command depends on the community

string data in the FCB Configuration Information. The default SNMP community

string is public.

NOTE:

When updating FCB components, such as the CPLD and fan table, the

update sequence is as follows: CPLD > fan table > FCB firmware.

1 Use the TFTP server to upload the FCB firmware image into the FCB

EEPROM.

2 Launch the NET-SNMP utility.
3 Use the snmpset command to update the firmware.

To set TFTP Server IP address, enter the following commands.
snmpset -v 2c -c community target_ip .1.3.6.1.4.1.674.20.50.6.0 a

server_ip

To set Image File Name, enter the following commands.
snmpset -v 2c -c community target_ip .1.3.6.1.4.1.674.20.50.7.0 s

image_file

To upgrade FCB firmware, entering the following command.s
snmpset -v 2c -c community target_ip .1.3.6.1.4.1.674.20.50.100.1.0

i 1

Sample output:

[root@localhost ~]# snmpset -v 2c -c private 10.32.49.67.1.3.6.1.4.1.674.20.50.6.0 a
10.32.49.64

<- Set TFTP Server IP

SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.674.20.50.6.0 = IpAddress: 10.32.49.64
[root@localhost ~]# snmpset -v 2c -c private 10.32.49.67.1.3.6.1.4.1.674.20.50.7.0 s
pmc.01.A.045.01.01.0001.bin

<- Set Image File Name

SNMPv2-SMI::enterprises.674.20.50.7.0 = STRING: "pmc.01.A.045.01.01.0001.bin"
[root@localhost ~]# snmpset -v 2c -c private 10.32.49.67.1.3.6.1.4.1.674.20.50.100.1.0 i
