sc5520SwitchActiveFirmware

Module: SC5520-MIB

OID (symbolic): SC5520-MIB::sc5520SwitchActiveFirmware

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.498.8.3.8.1.6

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: This object is used to switch the active executing firmware from the version in sc5520ActiveRev to the version in sc5520StoredRev.

When a switchActive(2) is set (write only) the element will: 1) reboot 2) uncompress stored code into active area 3) perform checksum on active area 4) Set sc5520StoredStatus object to indicate results 5) If succesfull: update sc5520ActiveFirmwareRev and sc5520StoredFirmwareRev and begin executing If failed: replace active area with previous revision

The switchNorm(1) enumeration will always be read.

Setting switchActive(2) when the sc5520StoredStatus is not statOK(3) will result in an error.

What is sc5520SwitchActiveFirmware?

Setting this to switchActive(2) reboots the unit, decompresses the stored firmware into the active area, checksums it, and either begins running it (updating both firmware-revision objects) or rolls back to the previous version on failure; this set is rejected unless sc5520StoredFirmwareStatus already reports statOK.

Examples
