Remote Software Library for B5800 Branch Gateway
upgrades
For the B5800 Branch Gateway firmware upgrade files, an external server is required to act
as a remote software library. This server hosts the firmware upgrade files through HTTP. The
external server should have an FTP, SCP, or SFTP server to upload the firmware files from
System Manager. While downloading from the PLDS web site, the firmware files are
temporarily copied on System Manager. The FTP, SCP, or SFTP protocols are then used to
copy the firmware files from System Manager to the external server. This file transfer from
PLDS to System Manager and then to the external server is a single operation for the
administrator.
Note:
The HTTPS protocol is not supported for a B5800 Branch Gateway device to pull files from
the external server.
Downloading the firmware files from PLDS to the B5800 elements through
System Manager
1. Download the B5800 firmware from PLDS to the System Manager cache using the
credentials provided in User Settings in System Manager.
2. Upload the firmware to the external server from the System Manager cache using
the FTP or SCP or SFTP protocol and the configuration information in the software
library.
3. After the file is on the external server, B5800 elements use this file during upgrade
using HTTP protocol.
Note:
Steps 1 and 2 happen simultaneously. The file download to System Manager is
transparent.
