Module: SnetSwitch-MIB
OID (symbolic): SnetSwitch-MIB::snetSwitchFWStatus
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.169.8.3.2.5.1.1.6
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: INTEGER
Access: read-only
Description: The Firmware Status for the Switch Firmware Status OK(1), Hardware Error Detected(2), Unknown Firmware Error Detected(3), Bad Program CheckSum(4), Current Configuration failed. Switch is using factory default configuration(5), Switch cannot be reached. Firmware status is unknown(6).
What is snetSwitchFWStatus?
This read-only value reports the firmware status of the switch: validStatusBlock(1) meaning OK, hwErrorDetected(2), unknownFirmwareErrorDetected(3), badProgramCheckSum(4), configFailedDefaultInUse(5) meaning the switch fell back to factory defaults, or unknownFWStatus(6) if the switch is unreachable. Admins check it when a switch is behaving unexpectedly, since configFailedDefaultInUse specifically indicates the switch silently reverted to factory configuration, which can explain unexpected behavior changes. A value other than validStatusBlock warrants investigation into the switch's firmware or configuration integrity.
