15.2 FORCED DOWNLOAD WITH UNIX
Downloading an EMM-E6 image file with a UNIX workstation requires
setting up a management station, and forcing the download. To force a
download, you can use mode switch 6 on the EMM-E6 or set specific
MIB OIDs.
Due to variations between UNIX systems and individual configurations,
this section provides only GUIDELINES for configuring a UNIX
workstation to perform an image file download. The instructions include
command examples, where appropriate. Bold lettering in examples
indicates operator entry.
Before you start:
• Editing ethers or hosts files requires Root/Superuser access.
• Downloading an image file requires setting up your UNIX
workstation as a reverse address resolution protocol (rarp) server.
To set up a UNIX workstation:
1. Edit the /etc/ethers file by adding the EMM-E6 MAC address,
followed by a unique name (e.g., 00:00:1d:32:0c:1b EMME6).
You can also download with other UNIX or DOS remote
management packages. Refer to specific package
documentation for image file download procedures.
NOTE
If unsure how to properly configure your UNIX workstation
using these guidelines, contact your Systems Administrator.
