Cabletron Systems STHI The SNMP Tool Screen, Repeat, Firmware Image Downloads, ctDLForceOnBoot

The SNMP Tool Screen

2.After “<SET> OID (=F9)” appears, specify an OID by the same methods used in the GET procedure:

3.Press the Return key.

If there is no instance of that OID, “MIB NO INSTANCE” will appear; otherwise “DATA TYPE:” appears.

4.Designate a data type for the OID: integer, string, null, OID, IP address, counter, gauge, timeticks, and opaque are the available options. (Refer to the MIB for proper data type.) Press the Return key to accept the designation.

5.After “DATA” appears, enter the MIB object’s new value and press Return.

If accepted, “<SET> OPERATION CODE: xxxx <OK>” appears, otherwise an error message appears.

5.9.10 REPEAT

The REPEAT command is the same as a GET command expect that it re-executes itself continuously, scrolling updated values for the specified OID on the screen and counting the number of times it has been shown, until stopped by the user. In other words, by using REPEAT the user can monitor an object’s changes over time.

5.9.11 Firmware Image Downloads

The SNMP Tool screen may be used to initiate a Flash file download. The user will need to know the IP address of the TFTP server and the full path name of the firmware image to be downloaded from that server.

Set the following OIDs as prescribed below in order to properly initiate and complete the download.

•ctDLForceOnBoot - 1.3.6.1.4.1.52.4.1.5.8.1.1.0

Cabletron’s Download Force On Boot OID determines whether the STHI will force a Flash image download at next reset or will boot from its current Flash file. Set this integer value to 1 to force the download (or 0 to disable).

•ctDLTFTPRequestHost - 1.3.6.1.4.1.52.4.1.5.8.1.4.0

Cabletron’s Download TFTP Request Host OID holds the IP address of the designated TFTP server. Set it to the IP address of the TFTP server which contains the image to be downloaded.
