EUCP

Some random notes about trying to port spconfig and/or sw_upload to NetBSD, which I haven't succeded with so far.

There aren't any tools for NetBSD

I'm sorry, but there aren't a port of an EUCP tool to NetBSD, since the protocol relies on broadcasting in a way that is very difficult on NetBSD except if you construct raw ethernet frames, and I haven't gotten around to that.

It's also not so interesting, since I'm trying to port Algorithmics PMON to Safepipe, and once it has replaced the factory delivered "service mode" and boot loader, things will be much easier.

Here's a spec of EUCP (PDF file).

tcpdump'ing EUCP

Use this to see if there is EUCP communication on your network:
tcpdump ip and udp and \( port 30292 or port 30293 \)
