Download New Firmware
The instructions in this chapter describe how to download new firmware to the
Agilent 4986B Ethernet LanProbe.
This download procedure is only necessary to upgrade your LanProbe firmware to
a new firmware release.
New firmware for the LanProbe comes in the form of a binary file. This binary
file can be received in the following ways:
Sent to you by an Agilent Support Representative, on 3.5" floppy disk.
Sent to you by an Agilent Support Representative via electronic means.
Included with Agilent NetMetrix.
Obtained via anonymous ftp from col.hp.com (15.255.240.16). The
/dist/netmetrix/lpfirmware
directory contains the latest version
of LanProbe firmware. A README file found in this directory provides
more details about the files contained in the
lpfirmware
directory.
CAUTION
Downloading new LanProbe firmware resets stored probe data and some probe
configuration information (like filters, traps, and channels). It can affect the IP
address, subnet mask, or default gateway IP address in some situations. Refer to
the Readme file on the new firmware media for more information.
The available procedures for downloading new firmware to LanProbe are
documented in this chapter. You should first select a procedure and then go to that
section in this chapter and execute that procedure.
