Bulk Configuration/Upgrade Procedure - LEGRAND Raritan PX3TS User Manual

Bulk Configuration/Upgrade Procedure

Any firmware downgrade using "fwupdate.cfg" is NOT supported by default.
Only firmware upgrade is permitted with "fwupdate.cfg". A special
parameter is required to permit firmware downgrade via "fwupdate.cfg".
See fwupdate.cfg (on page 734).
Therefore, firmware "downgrade" via DHCP/TFTP is disallowed by default.
Steps of using DHCP/TFTP for bulk configuration/upgrade:
1. Create configuration files specific to your PX3TS models and firmware
versions. See Configuration Files
Technical Support to properly prepare some or all of the following files:
▪
fwupdate.cfg (always required)
▪
config.txt
▪
devices.csv
Note: Supported syntax of "fwupdate.cfg" and "config.txt" may vary based
on different firmware versions. If you have existing configuration files, it is
suggested to double check with Raritan Technical Support for the
correctness of these files prior to using this feature.
2. Configure your TFTP server properly. See
748).
3. Copy ALL required configuration files into the TFTP root directory. If the
tasks you will perform include firmware upgrade, an appropriate firmware
binary file is also required.
4. Properly configure your DHCP server so that it refers to the file
"fwupdate.cfg" on the TFTP server for your PX3TS.
Click one or more of the following links for detailed DHCP configuration
instructions, based on your operating system and the IP address type.
▪
DHCP IPv4 Configuration in Windows
▪
DHCP IPv6 Configuration in Windows
▪
DHCP IPv4 Configuration in Linux
▪
DHCP IPv6 Configuration in Linux
5. Make sure all of the desired PX3TS devices use DHCP as the IP
configuration method and have been directly connected to the network.
6. Re-boot these PX3TS devices. The DHCP server will execute the commands
in the "fwupdate.cfg" file on the TFTP server to configure or upgrade those
PX3TS devices supporting DHCP in the same network.
DHCP will execute the "fwupdate.cfg" commands once for IPv4 and once
for IPv6 respectively if both IPv4 and IPv6 settings are configured properly
in DHCP.
