SNMP
Each SkyPilot node has an SNMP Agent. This agent allows an operator to query system configuration, and to monitor status and
statistics. SNMP provides a predominately read-only interface with only the reload and reboot write attributes. Reload causes the
configuration file to be downloaded and any changes in provisioning parameters to be completed. Reboot will cause the node to be
reset and reconnect with the network.
The SkyPilot nodes support standard MIB-II, EtherLike and Bridge MIBs, along with a proprietary SkyPilot MIB. To obtain a copy of
the SkyPilot MIB please contact SkyPilot Customer Support.
Software Download
The SkyPilot nodes store two software images in non-volatile flash memory. One of the images is designed as active; the other as
standby. The node always runs the active image. A software download is invoked by changing the revision of the standby image.
Once that image is successfully downloaded it can be activated by switching the active and standby revions.
