What Is CPQNTFTP-MIB?

CPQNTFTP-MIB is a Compaq/HP enterprise MIB that manages TFTP-based firmware and configuration transfer operations for HP network and server components, such as switches or management controllers. It exposes control objects to initiate a transfer, define the file type and pathname, specify the TFTP server IP, and track the transfer's progress and completion state. Its primary value for hardware/software status monitoring is around firmware/software version management: cpqnNewFileVersion and cpqnTftpTransferState let an administrator confirm what firmware version is being pushed and whether the download succeeded, failed, or is in progress, while cpqnTftpCanDldAfterBoot and cpqnTftpCanSendTrap indicate device capability and notification support for the operation. It has no stated dependency on other MIBs beyond standard SNMP conventions, functioning as a self-contained firmware-management extension. It is typically deployed in HP/Compaq managed network equipment (switches, iLO/management modules) where administrators perform remote firmware upgrades via TFTP. Engineers can download the CPQNTFTP-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in CPQNTFTP-MIB. Use the built-in SNMP Monitoring Browser to explore available variables, view their current values and descriptions, and select the objects you want to monitor. You can then create SNMP monitors, configure thresholds, and receive alerts when monitored values change.

Supported Devices

Compaq/HP managed network switch
Compaq/HP server management controller

Monitoring Examples

An administrator would set cpqnTftpServerIp, cpqnTftpPathname, and cpqnTftpFileType in a row of cpqnTftpTable/cpqnTftpEntry, then set cpqnTftpRowStatus active and cpqnTftpInitiate to start the transfer, subsequently polling cpqnTftpTransferState to watch it move from in-progress to complete or error. cpqnNewFileVersion reveals the version string of the firmware image being applied, letting the admin confirm the correct image was requested. If cpqnTftpTrapEnableStatus is enabled, the device would send a trap on completion, which combined with a stuck cpqnTftpTransferState value would flag a failed or hung firmware update requiring investigation.

What Can Be Monitored

TFTP transfer state
firmware file version being loaded
TFTP server IP and file path
post-boot download capability
trap notification on completion

OIDs

OID symbolic	OID numeric	Type	Access	Description
compaq	1.3.6.1.4.1.232
cpqnCommon	1.3.6.1.4.1.232.121
NTF cpqnTftpTransferInitiated	1.3.6.1.4.1.232.121.0.1			This trap is sent whenever a SNMP-requested TFTP transaction is initiated, depending on the value of cpqnTftpTrapEnableStatus. For those cases where multiple files are downloaded, multiple traps are sent.
NTF cpqnTftpTransferCompleted	1.3.6.1.4.1.232.121.0.2			This trap is sent whenever a SNMP-requested TFTP transaction is completed, depending on the value of cpqnTftpTrapEnableStatus. For those cases where multiple files are downloaded, multiple traps are sent. NOTE: It may not be possible for an agent to send this trap. Support of this trap is optional.
cpqnTftpConfig	1.3.6.1.4.1.232.121.9
INT cpqnTftpInitiate	1.3.6.1.4.1.232.121.9.1	INTEGER	read-write	This object is used to initiate the TFTP transfers configured in cpqnTftpTable. When setting this object, the only valid values are initiate-transfer(3) and initiate_transfer-reset(4). Attempts to set this object to other values are rejected with a Bad Value error. When this object is set to initiate-transfer(3), the agent does not reset (reboot) after the TFTP transfer(s) is(are) complete. Normal agent operation is resumed after the transfer(s). During the transfer(s), SNMP communication may or may not be available; consult the product-specific documentation. When this object is set to initiate-transfer-reset(4), the agent performs a reset (reboot) after the TFTP transfer(s) is(are) complete. SNMP communication may be lost at some point during the transfer/reset activity. SNMP communication resumes once the agent reset is complete. If the agent does not support the requested transfer mode, it rejects the set request with a Bad Value error. The agent returns transfer-in-progress(2) when this object is queried while a TFTP transfer is in progress. In order to avoid unexpected results, it is invalid to modify set any objects in cpqnTftpTable while this object is set to transfer-in-progress(2). The agent sets this object to no-transfer-ipr(1) after all TFTP transfers are completed.
INT cpqnTftpCanDldAfterBoot	1.3.6.1.4.1.232.121.9.2	INTEGER	read-only	The agent returns can-dld-after-boot(1) if it allows cpqnTftpTransferState to be set to download-afterboot(3). The purpose of this object is to inform the management station of the file transfer capabilities of the agent.
INT cpqnTftpCanSendTrap	1.3.6.1.4.1.232.121.9.3	INTEGER	read-only	The agent returns can-send-tftp-trap(1) if it allows cpqnTftpTrapEnableStatus to be set. If the agent returns cannot-send-tftp-trap(2), then sets on cpqnTftpTrapEnableStatus are rejected with a Bad Value error, and gets always return disabled(2). The purpose of this object is to inform the management station of the trap capabilities of the agent.
INT cpqnTftpTrapEnableStatus	1.3.6.1.4.1.232.121.9.4	INTEGER	read-write	DURABLE: This object is used to enable TFTP file transfer traps. If the agent does not support these traps, then it return a Bad Value error when this object is set. The cpqnTftpCanSendTrap object indicates whether or not the agent supports traps.
cpqnTftpTable	1.3.6.1.4.1.232.121.9.5		not-accessible	A table containing the possible file types and names that can be downloaded/uploaded to a device.
cpqnTftpEntry	1.3.6.1.4.1.232.121.9.5.1		not-accessible	A list of the TFTP file types, names, and statuses.
INT cpqnTftpFileType	1.3.6.1.4.1.232.121.9.5.1.1	INTEGER	read-only	The type of download/upload file that this table entry configures. This object is used as an index into cpqnTftpTable. There is only one entry for each type of file. The agent for a specific product may not support all file types; consult the product-specific documentation for information on using this object.
CPQ cpqnTftpRowStatus	1.3.6.1.4.1.232.121.9.5.1.2	CpqnRowStatus	read-write	DURABLE: The status of this row entry. Entries are added to this table using 'row sets'. When an entry is added, this object must be set to row-valid(1). To delete an entry from this table, set this object for the entry to row-invalid(2). Row sets for new entries with a row status set to row-invalid(2) return a Bad Value error. Attempts to read invalid entries are rejected with a No Such error. This table is indexed by cpqnTftpFileType. If an attempt is made to set this object for an invalid cpqnTftpFileType value, then a Bad Value error is returned.
STR cpqnTftpPathname	1.3.6.1.4.1.232.121.9.5.1.3	DisplayString	read-write	DURABLE: The fully-qualified path and filename (as recognized by the TFTP server) of the file to download or upload.
IP cpqnTftpServerIp	1.3.6.1.4.1.232.121.9.5.1.4	IpAddress	read-write	DURABLE: The IP address of the TFTP server.
STR cpqnNewFileVersion	1.3.6.1.4.1.232.121.9.5.1.5	DisplayString	read-write	DURABLE: This object specifies the version of the file to be downloaded. The agent uses this value to validate the downloaded file. An agent may allow this object to be left blank, in which case validation of the file versions will not be done (used for testing images, forcing a file when a version is not known, etc. Refer to the product-specific documentation for details on using this object.
INT cpqnTftpTransferState	1.3.6.1.4.1.232.121.9.5.1.6	INTEGER	read-write	DURABLE: This object configures this entry's type of TFTP transfer (download/upload) and when it occurs after cpqnTftpInitiate is set appropriately (immediately or after the next restart). Note that multiple cpqnTftpTable entries may enable TFTP transfers; the order in which the entries are processed is left to the agent. After the TFTP transfer has been completed (successfully or not), the agent sets this object back to no-download-ipr(1). If the agent is restarted before the transfer occurs, then this object's value is retained. Support for download-afterboot(3) and upload-to-nms(4) is optional. Attempts to set this object to an unsupported value are rejected with a Bad Value error. The cpqnTftpCanDldAfterBoot object indicates whether or not the agent supports download-afterboot(3). Refer to product-specific documentation for information on upload-to-nms(4).
INT cpqnTftpTransferLastErr	1.3.6.1.4.1.232.121.9.5.1.7	INTEGER	read-only	DURABLE: This is the error status (if any) of the last upload or download that occurred for this entry.
STR cpqnTftpErrorText	1.3.6.1.4.1.232.121.9.5.1.8	DisplayString	read-only	DURABLE: This is a text message from the last TFTP transfer. When possible, the message is obtained directly from the most recent TFTP error packet. If there was not a TFTP error packet, then a suitable message is returned.
