Version: 3. 17 PXE 2 The downloadable file in this package is a self-extracting diskette image file containing the PCI Flash utility. PCI Flash is a tool that will update the microcode and RPL/DHCP code stored on the IBM PCI Token-Ring adapter to the latest supported levels. In addition, an alternate PCI Flash utility is available for download that will ‘downgrade’ the PXE code from PXE 2 to PXE 1. PXE 1 or PXE 2? The choice to use PXE 1 or PXE 2 as the remote boot protocol for clients depends on the remote boot application being used. Remote Boot Application Recommended PXE Version for Client Adapters IBM LAN Client Control Manager (LCC M) V 2.

Execute 2. eye to create the PCI Flash diskette. (As long 2. eye can fit onto a diskette, you can use diskettes to move copies of the 2. eye diskette image file from one machine to another or from one office location to another. However, do not attempt to actually 2.

After creating the diskette, place the diskette into the A: drive of the computer containing the IBM PCI Token-Ring adapter and reboot the system. TheIBMFLASH. EXE program on the diskette will locate the installed IBM PCI Token-Ring Adapter (s) and update the microcode and RPL/DHCP code on it (them).
The Term Paper on Fast C Router Pci Bus
Fast PC Routers What's this all about? We " re building IP routers out of PC's as tools for research and experimental network development. The goal of this work is to come up with an IP router platform which is completely open to bending, twisting, reprogramming, and the like, and yet has sufficient performance to be useful for experiments in the 1990's. Open routing platforms are an important ...
Fixes in this Package: May 4, 2000 – Version 3. 17 PXE 2 contains the following changes over the previously released version, Version 3. 16 a: – Support added for the newly-announced IBM 16/4 Token-Ring PCI Management Adapter- Microcode image files for adapters that support PXE have been upgraded toP XE 2. PXE 1 versions of microcode are available via a separate PCIFLSH 1 utility download.
– Fix for IBM High-Speed 100/16/4 Token-Ring PCI Adapter active monitor function. See table below for more details. Notes about IBM PCI Token-Ring adapter microcode versions and the PCIFlashutility: 1. Unique microcode versions are required for the PCI Token-Ring Adapter and the PCI Wake on LAN Token-Ring Adapter. The ‘W’ for the fifth digit of the microcode version signifies that the microcode is for the PCI Wake on LAN Token-Ring Adapter. 2.
For the PCI Token-Ring Adapter (non Wake On LAN version), two unique versions of microcode exist to support the presence of flash modules on the adapter from two possible flash suppliers. 3. The PCI Flash utility determines the type of adapter present and the type of flash module on the adapter and automatically selects the appropriate microcode image file for programming into the adapter flash. 4. Beginning with PCI Flash Version 3. 17, the seventh digit of the microcode version now indicates the PXE version supported by the microcode.
A ‘1’s ignifies PXE 1 while a ‘2’s ignifies PXE 2. 5. Note that the original IBM PCI Token-Ring Adapter does not support PXE/DHCP remote boot.
