Firmware can be downloaded in one of two ways:
- tftp protocol: the operator must enter the location of the firmware file.
- bootp and tftp protocol: this is an automatic procedure. The necessary
parameters will already be available from a bootp server.
Whichever method is used, the firmware file is downloaded from a host (called
the tftp host). Following this the AX3000 is automatically reset and the new
firmware is enabled.
These two methods can be run either:
- Using the remote administration command from any network host or
- Through the set-up of the AX3000 that is to be upgraded.
All Axel products have an ‘FK’ (Firmware key) number. It is important that the
firmware file and Axel hardware have the same FK number. If not the up-
date will fail. For more information, refer to Appendix A.11.
A.9.1 - Declaring and Enabling TFTP and BOOTP
a) Unix
These two protocols are included but not normally enabled by default.
To enable perform the following:
- Modify the file /etc/inetd.conf by removing the '#' comment character,
from the beginning of the line(s) associated with tftp and/or bootps
Note: for tftp, take care to use the 'public' mode (within inetd.conf, the
'user' field must be 'nouser' or 'nobody' and the tftpd daemon must be
launched without the '-s /tftpboot' parameter).
- Reboot the UNIX host (or send the signal 1 to the inetd process).
Examples of TFTP declarations:
