Module: ONS15501-MIB

OID (symbolic): ONS15501-MIB::ons15501SysSwDownload

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.1869.11.11.1.4

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: DisplayString

Access: read-write

Description: Used to control the image download to the flash banks. NOTE: Read on this attribute returns the last t/ftp command, without login/password. For s/w release 4.0 and above, the value read back includes the Kilo-Bytes downloaded for last download command. It is the size of file downloaded (in KB), if the download has completed. If a download is in progress this value would correspond to Kilo-Bytes successfully downloaded so far. For set the string syntax is one of the following a. abort - Aborts the current download b. ftp::::::[:passive] - Download image using ftp c. tftp::: - Download image using tftp where - is t/ftp server name - is login to be used for ftp (default anonymous) - password for the login name for ftp (default - no passwd - passwd is empty string) - path to be given on ftp prompt for cd (default - skip cd command ) - name of the file to be downloaded and burnt to the flash - NO DEFAULTS - because the filename is used as distinguishing versions there are no defaults for this command. For TFTP Path information is part of the filename - which flash has to be burnt [1|2|3] NOTE: Burn to active bank fails passive - if `passive` is specified, ftp is done using passive mode (provided for FTP download across firewall). NOTE: None of the fields should contain ':' within them, as it is used as field separator.

What is ons15501SysSwDownload?

This OID both reports the last FTP/TFTP image download command (minus login credentials) and, when written, kicks off a new image download using a syntax like 'ftp:server:login:pass:path:fname:flashNo' or 'tftp:server:fname:flashNo', or 'abort' to cancel one in progress. An admin uses this to push new firmware onto a specific flash bank and monitor how many kilobytes have downloaded so far.
