The following values can only be read:

Syntax: Integer

 

other(1) – Agent is in unknown or other state

 

 

running(2) – agent running

 

 

busy(4) – reload not allowed at this time, flash is busy

 

 

The following value can be written:

 

 

reset(3) – Do a hard reset

 

 

The agent will return a response before the action occurs.

Read-write

The following values can only be read:

brcdIp.1.1.2.1.2

 

normal(1)

Syntax: Integer

 

error(2) – Operation failed or the flash is bad

 

 

erasing(4) – agent is erasing NVRAM flash

 

 

busy(5) – operation not allowed at this time, flash is busy.

 

 

The following value can be written:

 

 

erase(3) – NVRAM is set to be erased.

The agent will return a response even before the erase is done.And the value of this object will be erasing(4) until the erase is done. And the erase request will be rejected until the value of this object is either normal(1) or error(2).
