CME-MIB · .1.3.6.1.4.1.2.3.51.2.22.9.4

Object

scalar mandatory r/w Enumeration

Start updating the firmware of the specified target module.
Using execute or execute-with-reboot will cause the SNMP client to
wait for the firmware update to complete.
Using execute-nowait or execute-with-reboot-nowait will not cause
the SNMP client to wait for the update to complete. Instead it will
flash the firmware in the background.
          
Note 1: If the execute-with-reboot or execute-with-reboot-nowait
option is selected, the target will reset after a successful flash.
This option is only valid if the firmwareUpdateTarget object is
set to managementModule.
Note 2: If flashing from a remote file, then both
firmwareUpdateServer and firmwareUpdateFileName must be
set. Otherwise if flashing via the legacy method using a tftp
server, then both firmwareUpdateTftpServer and
firmwareUpdateFileName must be set.
Note 3: Depending on the target, it might take up to several
minutes for the flash update to complete.  Do not reset the
target until the control has been returned.  At this point,
the results will be displayed.
Note 4: Use firmwareUpdateStatus to confirm the status of
the last firmware update initiated by SNMP method.  The
Management Module must be restarted for the new firmware to
take affect.
Note 5: If data encryption is currently enabled on this MM,
and you update the MM firmware to a level which does not
support data encryption, you will lose all your configuration
settings as a result.
Note 6: Since some I/O Module types use the MM TFTP server for
firmware file transfer during the firmware update process, the
tftpEnable MIB object must be set to enable prior to updating
the firmware for these modules.
Note 7: If IPv6 address(es) have been configured for one or more
interfaces/protocols/services on this MM, when you update
the firmware to a level which does not support IPv6, all IPv6
connectivity will be lost, and services/interfaces for which an IPv6
address was configured may not function properly. You will be required
to reconfigure these services/interfaces.
          
NOTE: Value returned for the GET command is meaningless
for this MIB object.
