Operating System management

• The device can download images to its flash using SSH/Telnet and FTP/SCP. The device must be rebooted to activate the flash image.

  • The device provides a FTP server but an FTP client is not supported for the device, to start a FTP session. The FTP session must be started from the device server.

  • The image should be copied into the $TFTPHOMEDIR directory on the device server. The image path should be relative to the $TFTPHOMEDIR directory. For example, if the image is in /tftpboot/ftp/image/isg6k_app.ovn.9.1.0.80.1 then the path for the image name in the operating system inventory should be ftp/image/ isg6k_app.ovn.9.1.0.80.1.

  • While using the server for the operating system update, only the mechanism is used. The ftp username and password must be the same as the device account credentials.
