IMAGE FILE DOWNLOAD USING OIDs
This appendix provides instructions for setting up a tftp server and to
download an image file to the SEHI by setting specific MIB OID strings.
Set the OID strings with the SNMP Tools screen described in Chapter 6.
You can also download an image file using various remote
packages such as Cabletron's Remote LANVIEW/Windows.

application the SEHI automatically disables management while download
of the new firmware image is in progress.
Before you can download the image to a device, you must:
• load the image file onto your network tftp server.
For information on how to set up a workstation as a tftp
server, refer to your specific workstation documentation and
NOTE
the guidelines outlined in this instruction guide.
