gdcDsx1SwitchActiveFirmware

Module: GDCDSX1-MIB

OID (symbolic): GDCDSX1-MIB::gdcDsx1SwitchActiveFirmware

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.498.6.1.1.2.1.8

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: This object is used to switch the active executing firmware from the version in gdcDsx1ActiveRev to the version in gdcDsx1StoredRev.

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 gdcDsx1StoredStatus object to indicate results 5) If succesfull: update gdcDsx1ActiveFirmwareRev and gdcDsx1StoredFirmwareRev and begin executing If failed: replace active area with previous revision

The switchNorm(1) enumeration will always be read.

Setting switchActive(2) when the gdcDsx1StoredStatus is not statOK(3) will result in an error.

What is gdcDsx1SwitchActiveFirmware?

Setting this to switchActive(2) reboots the card, uncompresses the stored firmware image into the active area, checksums it, and begins executing it if the checksum passes; this only succeeds when gdcDsx1StoredFirmwareStatus already reads statOK(3), and the object always reads back switchNorm(1) once complete.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.498.6.1.1.2.1.8
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> GDCDSX1-MIB::gdcDsx1SwitchActiveFirmware

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.498.6.1.1.2.1.8.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> GDCDSX1-MIB::gdcDsx1SwitchActiveFirmware.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.498.6.1.1.2.1.8.1 i <value>
