Using SCP Commands
You can perform a Secure Copy (SCP) command to update the PRO3X firmware, do bulk configuration, or backup and restore
the configuration.
Firmware Update via SCP
Same as any PRO3X firmware update, all user management operations are suspended and all login attempts fail during the
SCP firmware update.
Warning: Do NOT perform the firmware upgrade over a wireless network connection.
To update the firmware via SCP:
1.
Type the following SCP command and press Enter.
scp <firmware file> <user name>@<device ip>:/fwupdate
▪
<firmware file>
is the PRO3X firmware's filename. If the firmware file is not in the current directory, you must include
the path in the filename.
▪
<user name>
is the "admin" or any user profile with the Firmware Update permission.
▪
<device ip> is the IP address or hostname of the PRO3X where you want to upload the specified file.
2.
Type the password when prompted, and press Enter.
3.
The system transmits the specified firmware file to the PRO3X, and shows the transmission speed and percentage.
4.
When the transmission is complete, it shows the following message, indicating that the PRO3X starts to update its
firmware now. Wait until the upgrade completes.
Starting firmware update. The connection will be closed now.
SCP example:
scp pdu-px2-030410-44599.bin admin@192.168.87.50:/fwupdate
Windows PSCP command:
PSCP in Windows works in a similar way to the SCP.
▪
pscp <firmware file> <user name>@<device ip>:/fwupdate
Bulk Configuration via SCP
Like performing bulk configuration via the web interface, there are two steps with the bulk configuration using the SCP
commands:
a.
Save a configuration from a source PRO3X.
b.
Copy the configuration file to one or multiple destination PRO3X.
To save the configuration via SCP:
1.
Type the following SCP command and press Enter.
scp <user name>@<device ip>:/bulk_config.txt <filename>
▪
<user name>
is the "admin" or any user profile with Administrator Privileges.
