Using Snmp To Upgrade Software - Foundry Networks FESX Manual

Foundry Configuration Guide for the FESX, FSX, and FWSX
3. Verify that the flash code has been successfully copied by entering the following command at any level of the
CLI:
• show flash
4. If the flash code version is correct, go to Step 5. Otherwise, go to Step 1.
5. Reload the software by entering one of the following commands:
• reload (this command boots from the default boot source, which is the primary flash area by default)
• boot system flash primary | secondary

Using SNMP to Upgrade Software

You can use a third-party SNMP management application such as HP OpenView to upgrade software on a
Foundry device.
NOTE: The syntax shown in this section assumes that you have installed HP OpenView in the "/usr" directory.
NOTE: Foundry recommends that you make a backup copy of the startup-config file before you upgrade the
software. If you need to run an older release, you will need to use the backup copy of the startup-config file.
1. Configure a read-write community string on the Foundry device, if one is not already configured. To configure
a read-write community string, enter the following command from the global CONFIG level of the CLI:
snmp-server community <string> ro | rw
where <string> is the community string and can be up to 32 characters long.
2. On the Foundry device, enter the following command from the global CONFIG level of the CLI:
no snmp-server pw-check
This command disables password checking for SNMP set requests. If a third-party SNMP management
application does not add a password to the password field when it sends SNMP set requests to a Foundry
device, by default the Foundry device rejects the request.
3. From the command prompt in the UNIX shell, enter the following command:
/usr/OV/bin/snmpset -c <rw-community-string> <fdry-ip-addr> 1.3.6.1.4.1.1991.1.1.2.1.5.0
ipaddress <tftp-ip-addr> 1.3.6.1.4.1.1991.1.1.2.1.6.0 octetstringascii <file-name>
1.3.6.1.4.1.1991.1.1.2.1.7.0 integer <command-integer>
where:
<rw-community-string> is a read-write community string configured on the Foundry device.
<fdry-ip-addr> is the Foundry device's IP address.
<tftp-ip-addr> is the TFTP server's IP address.
<file-name> is the image file name.
<command-integer> is one of the following:
20 – Download the flash code into the device's primary flash area.
22 – Download the flash code into the device's secondary flash area.
