sc5553SwitchActiveFirmware

Module: GDC-5553-MIB

OID (symbolic): GDC-5553-MIB::sc5553SwitchActiveFirmware

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.498.6.5.1.2.1.6

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: This object is used to switch the active executing firmware from the version in sc5553ActiveFirmwareRev to the version in sc5553StoredFirmwareRev.

When a switchActive(2) is set (write only) the element will: 1) reboot 2) uncompress stored code into active area 3) perform checksum on active area 4) Set sc5553StoredStatus object to indicate results 5) If succesfull: update sc5553ActiveFirmwareRev and sc5553StoredFirmwareRev and begin executing If failed: replace active area with previous revision

The switchNorm(1) enumeration will always be read.

Setting switchActive(2) when the sc5553StoredFirmwareStatus is not statOK(3) will result in an error. Valid [i]nterface = 0

What is sc5553SwitchActiveFirmware?

A write action that, when set to switchActive(2) while sc5553StoredFirmwareStatus is statOK, makes the unit reboot, uncompress and checksum the stored image, and if successful begin running it as the new active firmware — setting it when the stored image isn't verified good results in an error.
