Appendix B Downloading An Image File - Cabletron Systems ETWMIM User Manual

DOWNLOADING AN IMAGE FILE
This appendix provides instructions for downloading an image file to
the ETWMIM by setting specific MIB OID strings. To set OID strings,
you can use the SNMP Tools screen described in Chapter 5.6 of this
manual or any MIB walking tool. Refer to specific MIB walking tool
documentation for instructions on how to set MIB OID strings.
Note: You can also download an image file using various remote
management packages such as Cabletron's Remote LANVIEW
Windows. Refer to specific package documentation for image file
download procedures.
The ETWMIM supports the following Download applications:
• Standard Local Download - the ETWMIM automatically
disables management while you download the new firmware
image.
• Remote Runtime Download - the ETWMIM continues to
operate without interruption while you download the new
firmware image. The ETWMIM stores the new image in Flash
memory. It continues to operate with the old firmware image
executing in processor memory until you reset the ETWMIM.
