docsDevSwServerTransportProtocol

Module: DOCS-CABLE-DEVICE-MIB

OID (symbolic): DOCS-CABLE-DEVICE-MIB::docsDevSwServerTransportProtocol

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.69.1.3.8

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: This object specifies the transport protocol (TFTP or HTTP) to be used for software upgrades.

If the value of this object is tftp(1), then the cable device uses TFTP (RFC 1350) read request packets to download the docsDevSwFilename from the docsDevSwServerAddress in octet mode.

If the value of this object is http(2), then the cable device uses HTTP 1.0 (RFC 1945) or HTTP 1.1 (RFC 2616) GET requests sent to host docsDevSwServerAddress to

download the software image from path docsDevSwFilename.

If docsDevSwServerAddressType is currently set to dns(16), attempting to set this object to tftp(1) MUST result in an error.

What is docsDevSwServerTransportProtocol?

Selects which protocol the device uses to fetch its firmware image: tftp(1) issues RFC 1350 TFTP read requests, http(2) issues HTTP GET requests to docsDevSwServerAddress for the path in docsDevSwFilename. Cannot be set to tftp(1) while docsDevSwServerAddressType is currently dns(16), since TFTP needs a numeric address.

Examples
