1113.0. "gigaswitch firmware, decndu+" by BGO01::ARVID () Wed Oct 13 1993 06:33

	hello,

	I am looking for the easiest way to upgrade the firmware of a 
gigaswitch system. The load host will be an Ultrix system. The customer
says that Decndu+ is now available and this utility (Network Device Upgrade)
should be able to load new firmware to the gigaswitch. Does anyone know if
Decndu+ is ready, if it can upgrade Gigaswitch firmware and where I can get
it ?

	regards

    You should probably check the SCHOOL::GIGASWITCH conference but I
    thought the only way to upgrade the firmware in a GIGAswitch was to use
    an SNMP management station to tell it to go get its firmware.  The
    actual getting of the firmware is then done via either MOP or TFTP
    (which ever you specify).

        I thought someone was supposed to answer this note, but I guess it
    didn't happen.  In any case, I'll take a shot at it.  DECndu Plus when
    it's available will indeed work for the GIGAswitch.
    
        DECndu Plus uses SNMP et cetera, which is why it works for the
    GIGAswitch.
    
        The release was delayed.
