5.3 Setting up FTP and DHCP Servers (For Network
Administrators)
This section is intended for use by Network Administrators. Craft personnel will typically not be
Note
required to set up an FTP server or DHCP server.
The procedures described previously in this chapter require that an FTP server is available
from which to download the HN4000 system software and that a DHCP server is (optionally)
available to provide an IP address to the HN4000. The FTP server can run on the same system
as the DHCP server or the servers can be on different systems.

5.3.1 Setting up an FTP Server

Hatteras Networks provides system software for the HN4000 switch as packaged releases.
When you receive a system‐software release (either on a CD or from a Hatteras Networks
server), you must load the software onto an FTP server that the HN4000 switch can access.
Take the following general steps to set up an FTP server.
Step 1. Create a main‐release directory on the FTP server to store the HN4000 releases. For
example, HN4000_Releases.
Step 2. Create a subdirectory for each release. For example, HN4000_101504,
HN4000_102304, etc.
Step 3. Obtain from the NOC the login name and password for the FTP server.
Step 4. Copy the entire contents of the release software into an appropriately named subdi‐
rectory in the main release directory on the FTP server.
Step 5. If the HN4000 switch's system software will be installed manually by Craft personnel,
you must provide the Craft with the:
