probeDownloadAction
Module: RMON2-MIB
OID (symbolic): RMON2-MIB::probeDownloadAction
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.16.19.8
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: INTEGER
Access: read-write
Description:
When this object is set to downloadToRAM(2) or downloadToPROM(3), the device will discontinue its normal operation and begin download of the image specified by probeDownloadFile from the server specified by probeDownloadTFTPServer using the TFTP protocol. If downloadToRAM(2) is specified, the new image is copied to RAM only (the old image remains unaltered in the flash EPROM). If downloadToPROM(3) is specified the new image is written to the flash EPROM memory after its checksum has been verified to be correct. When the download process is completed, the device will
warm boot to restart the newly loaded application. When the device is not downloading, this object will have a value of notDownloading(1).
What is probeDownloadAction?
This read-write value controls the firmware download action: setting it to downloadToRAM(2) loads the image temporarily, or downloadToPROM(3) writes permanently to flash memory. Engineers use this to perform controlled firmware updates with verification before committing to permanent storage. For example, setting to 2 tests new firmware in RAM before deciding to permanently install it.
