Component Requirement Recommendation
Hard Drive 20GB free space There should be enough free space
on the hard drive to store the
firmware files.
Memory 2GB As required by the operating system
and the supported protocol
services.
Protocols (for the
B5800 Branch
Gateway elements to
download files from
the external server)
HTTP server Any supported HTTP server
installation.
Note:
The HTTPS protocol is not
supported for a B5800 Branch
Gateway device to pull files from
the external server.
Protocols (for
downloading the
firmware upgrade
files to the external
server from the PLDS
web site via System
Manager)
An FTP, SCP or SFTP server

transfer.
Setting up the external server to work as a remote software library
for B5800 upgrades
Procedure
1. Install the operating system.
2. Install any supported HTTP server.
3. Install any one of the supported servers: FTP, SFTP, or SCP.
4. Configure users for the FTP or SFTP or SCP access. These users should have
read, write, and delete permissions for the directories configured to function as the
storage location for the upgrade files.
5. Configure the HTTP server such that the location where the upgrade files are
downloaded is accessible using an HTTP URL. This URL is used to configure the
external server as a software library on System Manager. As B5800 elements use
this HTTPS URL to pull the firmware files during upgrade, the URL must be
reachable to the B5800 elements.
