adminDownload

Module: LANtern-MIB

OID (symbolic): LANtern-MIB::adminDownload

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.23.2.1.1.18

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: A write to adminDownload of temporaryChange(1) or permanentChange(2) causes the LANtern network monitor to discontinue its normal functions and perform a TFTP read of the file specified by adminDownLoadFile from the server specified by adminDownLoadServer into RAM. Upon successful completion of the file transfer, the new image is written to the flash EPROM memory (permanentChange only), destroying the previous image. The LANtern network monitor then performs a warm restart to activate the new image.

A read of adminDownLoad returns the status of the last download. The values temporaryChange(1) and permanentChange(2) indicate a download is in progress. tftpFailed(4) indicates the server failed to respond or the transfer timed out. badFile(5) occurs if the LANtern network monitor determines the downloaded file has been corrupted or is not a LANtern executable. All other error codes are the values defined by the TFTP protocol [RFC 783], offset by six.

Note: adminDownloadFile and adminDownLoadServer must be set prior (separate PDU) to setting adminDownLoad.

What is adminDownload?

Controls and reports firmware upgrades: writing temporaryChange(1) or permanentChange(2) starts a TFTP pull of adminDownLoadFile from adminDownLoadServer and, for permanentChange, burns it into flash and warm-restarts the unit; reading it back reports the outcome, e.g. downloadSuccess(3), tftpFailed(4), badFile(5), or a TFTP-protocol error code offset by six.
