How to Download Firmware
ECM does not provide a direct GUI level support for downloading firmware to
devices. But what ECM provides is a very rich and flexible interface for
creating and downloading of customized configurations. Users can use these
customized configurations to do firmware download on most types of devices.
Downloading Firmware to a Cabletron MicroMMAC
This section shows you how to download firmware to the MicroMMAC.
Requirement
To download firmware, you need to first set up your SpectroGRAPH
workstation as an TFTP Server.
ECM uses TFTP to download an image file from your local workstation to a
device. Therefore, before you begin these procedures, make sure TFTP is set
up and running on the machine that also has SpectroGRAPH running on it.
Procedure
When your machine is set up as a TFTP server, you can download firmware.
Follow these steps to download firmware to a MicroMMAC.
Step 1: Get Image file
Place the image file in the /tftpboot directory on the machine that is running
SpectroGRAPH.
NOTE
The following example download procedure should work for device types
other than that used in this example. However, ECM allows you to download
firmware only to a device that supports the download feature and the
configuration attributes for downloading firmware may differ for different
devices.
When downloading to a different type of device, check with your device
documentation or support person to make sure you select the appropriate
attributes for that device.
