CPE Configuration Manager Table

Index

Index to the Configuration table.

Name

This is an ASCII string containing the customer assigned name. Maximum length is 32 characters, and no whitespaces are allowed.

Group

The value of this field will be a simple integer defining a group of associated cpeConfigMgr's. All cpeConfigMgr's with the same group value form this association. This association allows the defining of multiple CPE type configurations for a given interface. Each cpeConfigMgrMember will be assigned to a cpeConfigMgrGroup. The attached CPE must be one of the types supported by this group, or an error will be logged and/or trapped.

CPE Type

This field designates the type of CPE configured by this entry. This string must match the string returned by the attached CPE exactly.

Software Version

A string defining the software version. If the value of this field doesn't match the software version string returned by the CPE exactly, then a software update will be initiated for the connected CPE. If this field is a NULL string, then the software version will not be managed.

Software Filename

A string that specifies the filename the CPE must download if the requiredCpeSoftwareVersion comparison fails. This file must be available in the base path location on the download server.

WebUI Version

A string defining the WebUI version. This version string must match exactly what the CPE returns or an upgrade of the WebUI file will be initiated. This only applies to certain CPE types. The CO device will not restrict setting this for CPEs that do not support it, but doing so will likely cause problems. If this field is left blank, but requiredCpeWebUIFilename is set, the CPE will be told to download a new WebUI file whenever it is also told to download a new software image file. This allows the WebUI file to be tied directly to the software image version.

WebUI Filename

A string that specifies the filename the CPE must download if the requiredCpeWebUIVersion comparison fails. This file must be available in the base path location on the download server.

Generic Config File

A string defining the generic configuration filename for CPEs using this manager. The CPE must specify this filename to the CO device. If the names do not match exactly, the CO device will inform the CPE to download this file from the download server at the base path location. The cpeConfigMgrMemberEntry for attached CPEs may define a specific configuration filename in the cpeSpecificConfigFile field that will supersede this generic file.

Lease Time Update

The short lease time (in seconds) granted to a CPE during download of files. This value is also used for throttling a download storms. The default value for this field will be 5 minutes. This value should be long enough to accommodate the maximum time to download all files a CPE may need.

Lease Time Operational

The long lease time (in seconds) granted to a CPE if there is no upgrade required. The default for this value will be one day. This value should be short enough to accommodate frequent checks for configuration changes, but not too frequent to burden the CO device. If this device repeatedly fails to successfully update, this long lease time may be issued with no required updates to allow other CPEs time to update.

Download Server

Index of a Download Server entry containing the download server details this cpeConfigMgr passes to attached CPEs. This field must match an existing cpeCfgMgrDwnldSrvrIndex field. If it does not, no download server information will be sent to the CPE when needed.

Download Path

A string that specifies the directory path to the base location of configuration files on the download server for this cpeConfigMgr. This path location will contain the software image, webUI file, generic configuration file, and sub-paths to CPE specific files. This path is also used when checking the CPEs reported configuration with the required configuration for this CPE in CPE Config Manager.

Secure Download

The desired security mode to use for downloading files. It can be one of three values: 1 = do not use secure download methods (use ftp or tftp), 2 = use secure download methods (sftp) 3 = no preference,

Traps

Enables or disables whether traps are sent from the CO device for events relating to this CPE Config Manager.
