Description: Manages World Wide Packets file transfer operations for firmware upgrades and configuration backup/restore.

Start monitoring vendor-neutral, standards-based MIB, any SNMPv3-capable network device (SNMP engine identity/boot/clock status) with a free 30-day trial of IPNetwork Monitor. Import MIBs, browse SNMP OIDs, create custom SNMP monitors, configure alerts, and monitor any SNMP-enabled network device from a single console.

What Is WWP-FILE-TRANSFER-MIB?

WWP-FILE-TRANSFER-MIB is a World Wide Packets enterprise MIB managing TFTP-based file transfer operations on WWP transport equipment, used for firmware upgrades and configuration backup/restore. It exposes objects to initiate and track a file download/upload operation, such as the transfer server address, filename, and operation/transfer status. It supports monitoring the software status of the device by revealing whether a firmware upgrade or configuration backup/restore operation is in progress, has completed successfully, or has failed, which is essential state to check before rebooting the unit into new firmware. As a TFTP-based module it depends conceptually on the standard TFTP protocol as its underlying file-transfer mechanism, even though the MIB objects themselves are vendor-specific. It is deployed in carrier/enterprise networks running WWP equipment, where operators push firmware updates or pull configuration backups via SNMP-triggered TFTP transfers and need to confirm success before proceeding. Engineers can download the WWP-FILE-TRANSFER-MIB file directly to load it into their MIB browser.

IPNetwork Monitor allows you to monitor SNMP objects defined in WWP-FILE-TRANSFER-MIB. Use the built-in SNMP Monitoring Browser to explore available variables, view their current values and descriptions, and select the objects you want to monitor. You can then create SNMP monitors, configure thresholds, and receive alerts when monitored values change.

Monitoring Examples

No concrete object names were supplied for this MIB, so a specific object-level scenario cannot be honestly detailed beyond its stated TFTP firmware/configuration transfer purpose. In general use, an admin initiating a firmware download would expect to poll a transfer-status object until it reports success or failure, avoiding a reboot into a partially transferred firmware image, and would similarly check status after triggering a configuration backup or restore.

What Can Be Monitored

file transfer operation status
firmware upgrade progress
configuration backup/restore progress

OIDs

OID symbolic	OID numeric	Type	Access	Description
wwpFileTransferMIB	1.3.6.1.4.1.6141.2.7			The MIB module for the WWP TFTP Operation to download a file.
wwpFileTransferMIBObjects	1.3.6.1.4.1.6141.2.7.1
wwpFileTransfer	1.3.6.1.4.1.6141.2.7.1.1
INT wwpFTransferOp	1.3.6.1.4.1.6141.2.7.1.1.1	INTEGER	read-write	Used to transfer file(s) between a TFTP server (remote) and the device(local). All transfers are binary. There are three types of file transfers: sendFile sends a file to the host TFTP server. getFile receives a file from the host server. getCmdFile gets the specified file from the host and parses that file for additional operations to be performed. This is the mechanism used to upgrade the device with new software.
IP wwpFTransferServerAddr	1.3.6.1.4.1.6141.2.7.1.1.2	IpAddress	read-write	The ip address of the tftp server from (or to) which to transfer the file.Address must be a unicast address that is reachable from the agent and no firewalls/acls preventing tftp datagrams from being transferred.
STR wwpFTransferRemoteFilename	1.3.6.1.4.1.6141.2.7.1.1.3	DisplayString	read-write	The file name (including the path, if applicable) to be retrieved from the tftp server. If the switch/device is downloading a file , then this should be name of the file on the remote server. Length of filename string must not exceed 255 alpha-numeric characters, no spaces in filenames.
STR wwpFTransferLocalFilename	1.3.6.1.4.1.6141.2.7.1.1.4	DisplayString	read-write	The file name (including the path, if applicable) to be written to. If the switch/device is downloading a file ,then this should be name of the file on the switch/device. Length of filename string must not exceed 255 alpha-numeric characters, no spaces in filenames. By default it will have the same value as of wwpFTransferRemoteFilename.
T/F wwpFTransferActivate	1.3.6.1.4.1.6141.2.7.1.1.5	TruthValue	read-write	Activate the file transfer operation with a value of True(1). The object will return to 'false' once the file transfer is completed. Poll wwpFTransferStatus for current status. Default value is False. wwpFTransferRemoteFileName, wwpFTransferServerAddress and wwpFTransferOp must be valid prior to setting this object to True.
T/F wwpFTransferNotifOnCompletion	1.3.6.1.4.1.6141.2.7.1.1.6	TruthValue	read-write	Specifies whether or not a wwpFTransferCompletion notification should be issued on completion of the tftp transfer. If such a notification is desired, it is the responsibility of the management entity to ensure that the SNMP administrative model is configured in such a way as to allow the notification to be delivered.
FIL wwpFTransferStatus	1.3.6.1.4.1.6141.2.7.1.1.7	FileTransferState	read-only	Specifies the state of this file transfer request. If no file transfer request is being processed , then the wwpFTransferStatus should be 'idle'.
FIL wwpFTransferFailCause	1.3.6.1.4.1.6141.2.7.1.1.8	FileTransferFailCause	read-only	The reason why the file transfer operation failed. If no file transfer request is being processed , then the wwpFTransferFileCause should be 'noStatus'.
INT wwpFTransferNotificationStatus	1.3.6.1.4.1.6141.2.7.1.1.9	INTEGER	read-only	The status of the file transfer which is to be reported via the FileTransfer Notification.
STR wwpFTransferNotificationInfo	1.3.6.1.4.1.6141.2.7.1.1.10	DisplayString	read-only	The string explaining the error code in detail or the additional info for the file transfer completion.
wwpFileTransferMIBNotificationPrefix	1.3.6.1.4.1.6141.2.7.2
wwpFiletransferMIBNotifications	1.3.6.1.4.1.6141.2.7.2.0
NTF wwpFTransferCompletion	1.3.6.1.4.1.6141.2.7.2.0.1			A wwpFTransferCompletion notification is sent at the completion of a file transfer request.
NTF wwpFTransferCmdParseError	1.3.6.1.4.1.6141.2.7.2.0.2			A wwpFTransferCmdParseError notification is sent if the parsing of the cmd file returns an error.
wwpFileTransferMIBConformance	1.3.6.1.4.1.6141.2.7.3
wwpFileTransferMIBCompliances	1.3.6.1.4.1.6141.2.7.3.1
wwpFileTransferMIBGroups	1.3.6.1.4.1.6141.2.7.3.2
