(usr-tc) ARC tftp upload
Hi, Is there any way (not involving snmp) to upload new code to the arc? Or to download from the arc cli? On site, and would like to give this a whirl as my laptop (w/TCM) is being unpredictable...

If the Arc has software code up and running, it has tftp client and server capabilities. You can use either to get the code to the Arc. As long as you can get the code to the Arc and stored in the flash filesystem as "netserve.dmf", it will see it on the next boot up and install the new code for use. If the Arc *doesn't* have operational code running, the boot prom has tftp client capabilities...in the initial bootup, if you're plugged into the console of the Arc, you'll see a boot menu come up...from there you can pick a tftp server IP, filename, etc. select boot from network, boot from network once, and indicate the Arc's ip address, netmask and gateway during the process...it is safe to use the same ip address during this process that the Arc usually uses since the two stacks are never active at the same time. This would allow it to pull the dmf image off a tftp server during the boot process even if there is no runnable image on the Arc currently. -- Jeff McAdams Email: jeffm@iglou.com Head Network Administrator Voice: (502) 966-3848 IgLou Internet Services (800) 436-4456 - To unsubscribe to usr-tc, send an email to "majordomo@xmission.com" with "unsubscribe usr-tc" in the body of the message.
