	it to discover and manage the switch, run "GbE2c_to_SIM" after 
	the Utilities package is installed on the SIM server.
	The Insight Manager service will be restarted by the command. 


==============================================================================

Switch firmware information tool, "swfwinfo"
--------------------------------------------

NAME
	swfwinfo - Display information about a Proliant BL Interconnect Switch
	firmware file

SYNOPSIS

	Windows: swfwinfo [drive:][path]filename 

	Linux: swfwinfo filename

DESCRIPTION

	Swfwinfo probes a firmware file and prints information about the
	firmware file to STDOUT.  If the filename provided is a valid and 
	readable Interconnect Switch firmware file, the printed information 
	includes the filename, version, build date, manufacturer, and
	firmware type.  

	Upon successful completion, swfwinfo exits with an exit code of 0.  If 
	an error was encountered during processing, a short description of the
	error is output to STDERR and swfwinfo exits with the appropriate 
	error code.

OPTIONS

	None

ERROR CODES

	0	Normal.  Valid data is returned.
	1	Incorrect command syntax was provided. A Usage Error message 
		is printed on STDERR.
	2	The switch firmware file could not be found or read.  
	3	The checksum is invalid.
	4	The file signature is invalid.
	5	Unknown product ID.

	There is a precedence for printing and returning error codes when 
	multiple errors are found involving the checksum, signature, or 
	product ID of a firmware file.  Only one of the errors is printed, in 
	this precedence order:
  
		checksum error
		signature error
		product ID error


==============================================================================

TFTP SERVER
-----------

The Win32 Interconnect Switch Utilities installation includes a public domain 
TFTP server, which may be used for TFTP operations with the switch, such as
upgrading firmware.
  
The following files comprise this feature and are installed in the 
"tftpserver" subfolder:
	tftpd32.exe	The server
	tftpd32.hlp	The help file


Please note the following if you use the RDP TFTP server:

	The RDP PXE TFTP server uses the default TFTP IP port, 69, and is 
	unidirectional (to switch) only.  Therefore any other TFTP use on
	the RDP server must use a port other than 69.  The included TFTP
	server should be configured to use another port, and the switch
	must also be configured to use that same port number.  The switch's
	CLI or SNMP interface may be used to configure the TFTP port, if
	necessary.  A firmware upgrade tool, which automatically chooses a
	free TFTP port and configures the switch TFTP port, is included with 
	firmware obtained from the Support web page listed above.
