This object is used to initiate a TFTP file transfer.

If nbsCmmcTftpSessStatus is not active (4), the Agent should report the value inactive (1).

The Manager may initiate a session between the Agent and the host specified in nbsCmmcTftpSessHostIp by changing the value of this object.

Setting the value downloadNM (2) tells the Agent to transfer its firmware image from the host to itself. Setting the value uploadNM (3) tells the Agent to transfer its firmware image from itself to the host.

Setting the value downloadPar (4) tells the Agent to transfer a previous backup of its configuration from the host to itself. Setting the value uploadPar (5) tells the Agent to send a backup file of its current configuration to the host.

For any other type of file, the Manager should set this value to downloadFile (6) to send a file from the host to the NM, and uploadFile (7) to transfer a file from the NM to the host.
