Using SNMP to upgrade software
3
NOTE
The syntax shown in this section assumes that you have installed HP OpenView in the “/usr”
directory.
NOTE
Brocade 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 Brocade 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 Brocade 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 Brocade device, by default the Brocade 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> <brcd-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 Brocade device.
<brcd-ip-addr> is the IP address of the Brocade device.
<tftp-ip-addr> is the TFTP server IP address.
<file-name> is the image file name.
<command-integer> is one of the following.
