Using TFTP for firmware upgrades To upgrade the firmware using TFTP, you need a TFTP service application on the workstation or server that will be used to perform upgrades. After the TFTP has been enabled, then begin the upgrade. Before beginning the upgrade procedure, be sure that the Secure TFTP Server is installed and that the GET access permissions for the folder that the updated file is in is selected. Also, be sure that the HP IP Console Switch is on the same network as the computer that is being used for the upgrade. For Windows® operating systems, follow the instructions in the \TFTP\TFTP Install Instructions.txt file on the CD included with this kit or the Softpaq TFTP directory. For Linux operating systems see "TFTP for Linux operating systems (on page 272)."

Depending on the type of distribution, the Internet services daemon is provided by xinetd. NOTE: The following Linux example uses Red Hat 3.0. For more information, refer to your Linux operating system's HELP or documentation. NOTE: By default, TFTP executes in secure mode and only provides readable files under the /tftpboot directory.
