Typically we see people using some flavor of xmodem or ymodem, but I admit I'm
unfamiliar with how things might be deployed in a network environment (since theres
basically unlimited ways to architect a network), or what other manufacturers do.
If you're talking about xmodem/ymodem, you're likely talking about
installing firmware. I'm talking about using kermit (the program, not
the file transfer protocol) to interact with embedded machines for
interactive configuration and/or debugging. This is extremely common.
