update_file Filename (including the path) of the software image
Please contact HP ProCurve Technical Support for information on the current
downloadable image.
For TFTP or anonymous FTP, the path is relative to the anonymous FTP or
TFTP root. If a username and password is required for FTP, then the full path
to the update file must be specified. For HTTP, the path is always relative to
the web server‘s site root directory.
For example:
To retrieve the software from an internal FTP server at “mycompany.com” that requires a username and
password:
ftp://jane:secret@ftp-int.mycompany.com/users/ftp/ambit4
This accesses the FTP server as user “jane” with password “secret” and downloads the image from the
full path “/users/ftp/ambit4”
Local Update
The Local Update option allows you to update the software in your 700wl Series system units from a
distribution file stored on your Access Control Server or Integrated Access Manager, rather than from a
remote system. This means that your 700wl Series system units do not need external (Internet) access in
order to obtain the update. (The Remote Update option assumes that the 700wl Series system unit being
updated can access the HP ProCurve technical support web site to download the update.)
The distribution file must initially be downloaded from the HP technical support web site, but you can
download it to any local system—it is not downloaded directly to a 700wl Series system unit. Once the
distribution file is stored on a local system, you upload it from the local system into the 700wl Series
system Access Control Server or Integrated Access Manager. Software updates of your 700wl Series
systems are then performed using the distribution file saved on the Access Control Server or Integrated
Access Manager. You can store up to four distribution files on a 700wl Series Access Control Server or
Integrated Access Manager.
Obtaining the Software Distribution File
To download a software distribution file from the HP ProCurve Technical Support web site and upload
it onto your Access Control Server or Integrated Access Manager, do the following:
Step 1. Download the distribution file from the HP technical support web site to a local system.
Log onto the HP FTP site using anonymous FTP in Passive mode. You will not be able to do a
directory listing.
The files to download are:
ambit4.vdist-hp for an Access Control Server or Integrated Access Manager.
ambit4.vdist-hp-am for an Access Controller.
Assuming you plan to update both your Access Control Server and one or more Access
Controllers, you need to download both files.
