Spirent-hosted server
Additional description
Server SPIRENT If you are not using the Spirent-hosted server, this must be
the IP address or domain name of the computer where the
rsync server and firmware files reside. The unit is
provisioned to recognize the SPIRENT keyword to
automatically reach the Spirent server.
Firmware latest This is an alias that designates the desired firmware
package to install, normally latest when using the Spirent-
hosted server unless you have been instructed otherwise.
Aliases must be preconfigured on the server computer in
a specific fashion, which is a topic addressed in the
additional documentation available for custom rsync
server setup.
License File TXH_LICENSE_KEYS The name of the file on the server that contains licensing
information for the unit you are upgrading. Licensing is
always updated during the upgrade process unless one or
more of the following are true, in which case licensing
remains in its original state:
The file is missing or set up incorrectly
The unit cannot find its licensing information in the file
For custom rsync server setup, additional documentation
from Spirent is available on the management of this file.
Update
License Only
No This setting specifies whether to do a licensing update
only and skip the firmware upgrade. In most cases, the
two are done concurrently.
Ping Before
Download
Yes (recommended) Indicates whether to perform a ping test to the designated
Server before attempting the upgrade. If the ping fails, the
upgrade action will abort.
Timeout 15 Indicates a maximum amount of time to allow for the
upgrade process, after which it is aborted. An aborted
process leaves the unit in its original functional state.
Preliminary issue - Limited distribution only!
