| Description | Checksum algorithm identifier for checksum method
used by the file system. Normally, this would be
fixed for a particular file system. When a file
system writes a file to Flash, it checksums the
data written. The checksum then serves as a way
to validate the data read back whenever the file
is opened for reading.
Since there is no way, when using TFTP, to guarantee
that a network download has been error free (since
UDP checksums may not have been enabled), this
object together with the ciscoFlashFileChecksum
object provides a method for any management station
to regenerate the checksum of the original file
on the server and compare checksums to ensure that
the file download to Flash was error free.
simpleChecksum represents a simple 1s complement
addition of short word values. Other algorithm
values will be added as necessary. |
