148 CHAPTER 7: AGENT UPDATE
Useful Information
and References
The following section provides assistance when using Agent Update on
your network.
Supported Devices Some types of devices are supported only from a minimum agent version
onwards. If you want to upgrade the agent of a device that is currently
running an unsupported agent version, you must use another means to
upgrade the agent for the first time.
The supported devices are listed in Appendix A
on page 241.
Agent Image
Filenames
3Com agent image files follow a naming convention that helps you to
identify the device family that the agent can be applied to.
Some types of device will reject attempts to update them using agent
files that do not follow the naming scheme. For this reason, 3Com
recommends that you do not rename your agent files.
Tab l e 13
shows the agent filename format for the device families
supported by Agent Update.
