rabtFirmwareUseBootp

Module: RoamAbout-MIB

OID (symbolic): RoamAbout-MIB::rabtFirmwareUseBootp

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.36.2.18.35.16.1

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: Controls where the AccessPoint gets the information that it needs to download new firmware.

When true(1), indicates that the AP should use the BootP protocol to auto-configure parameters such as its own IP address, gateway IP, subnet, TFTP server IP address, and file name.

When false(2), indicates that the AccessPoint should use locally-configured parameters stored in NVRAM.

What is rabtFirmwareUseBootp?

Setting this to true(1) makes the Access Point use BootP to auto-configure parameters like its IP, gateway, subnet, and TFTP server/filename for firmware downloads; false(2) makes it use locally-configured NVRAM values instead. Use false(2) with rabtFirmwareServerIP and rabtFirmwareFilename set explicitly if there's no BootP server on the AP's subnet.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.36.2.18.35.16.1
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> RoamAbout-MIB::rabtFirmwareUseBootp

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.36.2.18.35.16.1.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> RoamAbout-MIB::rabtFirmwareUseBootp.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.36.2.18.35.16.1.1 i <value>
