Field/Menu
Name

Definition

Type

FTP is the only supported type.

FTP Site

The address of the FTP server where the microcode is located. You can use
any FTP server if you download the firmware on it first. The Cyclades FTP
site address is: ftp.cyclades.com. If desired, see “To Upgrade
Firmware” on page 290 f
or instructions on how to download the firmware
for installation on your own local FTP server.

Username

Username recognized by the FTP server. The Cyclades FTP username for
microcode downloads is “anonymous.”

Password

Password associated with the Username. An empty password is accepted
for anonymous login at the Cyclades FTP server

Path and
File Name

The pathname of the software on the FTP server.

On the Cyclades FTP server, the directory is under pub/cyclades/
alterpath/KVMnet/released/version_number/filename

,

where version_number is V_N.N.N., and N.N.N is the most recent
version number.

For example, 2.1.1. The filename includes the version number in the
following format: zImage_kvm_NNN.bin. The pathname for this
example would be:

pub/cyclades/alterpath/KVMnet/released/V_2.1.1/

zImage_kvm_210.bin

Go to ftp://ftp.cyclades.com/pub/cyclades/
alterpath/KVMnet/released

in a browser, if needed, to verify the

correct pathname and file names for the software (zImage) for the KVM/
net.
