tnSwNodeForce

Module: TROPIC-SOFTWARE-MIB

OID (symbolic): TROPIC-SOFTWARE-MIB::tnSwNodeForce

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.7483.2.1.5.2.1.1.7

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: This attribute, when set to true, MAY result in the DB being purged (only if there is no upgrade path available). When this attribute is set to false, the DB will NOT be purged. All reads on this attribute will return a value of none. It's value is not persistent on the 1696R/1830 NE. A set pdu including this attribute must also include attribute tnSwNodeControl; otherwise, the set will be failed back to the network operator.

What is tnSwNodeForce?

When set to true, this may allow the node's database to be purged during an upgrade if no valid upgrade path exists; setting it false prevents the purge, reads always return none, and the value is not persistent. A technician sets this to true, alongside tnSwNodeControl in the same set PDU, specifically to force an upgrade through when no supported upgrade path is otherwise available.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.7483.2.1.5.2.1.1.7
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> TROPIC-SOFTWARE-MIB::tnSwNodeForce

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.7483.2.1.5.2.1.1.7.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> TROPIC-SOFTWARE-MIB::tnSwNodeForce.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.7483.2.1.5.2.1.1.7.1 i <value>

SNMPv3 example:

snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> tnSwNodeForce.1
