I want to push the Firmware Image from Genie ACS using “push file” feature.I am able to upload the bin file in the files tab of Genie ACS.
Next if I click on push file button, it will ask me to upload the file. But the drop down doesnt show any option. The screenshot is attached herewith.
Any suggestions as to how to do this experiment ?

You need to include screenshots of the Admin → Files tab.

Need to upload files first via Admin-\>Files, and THEN they can be selected from this drop-down menu.
Mind to include correct parameter values for Type, OUI and Product Class when uploading firmware file. Genie filters entries in “Push” drop-down by those parameters.

Hi @git-neo-si @akcoder thank you for your inputs. I am able to push the file (.bin). Problem was I was not giving proper OUI and product class values. The next point where I am getting stuck is, GenieACS is able to commit the firmware upgrade task, but the download is failing . Any pointers on this ? Here is my log

I would check if file is downloaded “untouched” - download it manually (you have the URL CPE is using), and compare it to original size (and content).

Sorry I dint not get you.
I have uploaded the firmware update file in the admin’s–\>Files tab. Do I have to configure anything other than this on the GenieACS dashboard ?
**(you have the URL CPE is using), and compare it to original size (and content).** → Where exactly do we have it ?

No, the log you sent shows that CPE received request to download a firmware and it also shows that a download event was actually started. All you need to do is now verify if the downloaded file is in “intact” form (content).
The mentoned URL is on the log you sent:
Thu May 11 12:29:47 2023 daemon.notice easycwmpd: start download url = **[http://139.59.62.27:7567/openwrt-ramips-mt76x8-Silbo\_RF44-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin](http://139.59.62.27:7567/openwrt-ramips-mt76x8-Silbo_RF44-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin)**, FileType = ‘1 Firmware Upgrade Image’, CommandKey = ‘188099bd3200000’
Download the file via URL [http://139.59.62.27:7567/openwrt-ramips-mt76x8-Silbo\_RF44-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin](http://139.59.62.27:7567/openwrt-ramips-mt76x8-Silbo_RF44-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin)
If it is identical to your original file, then… maybe CPE does not have access to GenieACS file service on port 7567?
Although, the log file does not show this…
Also check GenieACS database (db genieacs, table fs.files) if all firmware data is as expected.

Oh got you . [http://139.59.62.27:7567/openwrt-ramips-mt76x8-Silbo\_RF44-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin](http://139.59.62.27:7567/openwrt-ramips-mt76x8-Silbo_RF44-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin) ,if I click on this URL, the downloading of file should take place right ? The files isnt getting downloaded.
Also check GenieACS database (db genieacs, table fs.files) if all firmware data is as expected. → I amnot quiet sure how to check this. Because I set up my own server using the below document. If you can give me some sort of hint, it will be useful.

If file does not get downloaded, I guess you have the reason why it is not working for you. 🙂
To check the database:
$ mongo
> use genieacs
> db.fs.files.find()
> quit()
displays ALL files (firmware, vendor config, …) that were uploaded into GenieACS. MD5 hash and size (length) should be the same for “original” file and this info here.

The reason file downloads aren’t working is you don’t have the fs process running. This is evidenced by the fact that I can connect to your acs on port 7547, but not on port 7567 (the fs port).
You need to enable https, you do not want data flowing over the internet in the clear. You need to firewall off your ACS to just your network. You need to enable (and use) both ACS → CPE Authentication **and** CPE → ACS Authentication

Jup, probably true. Did not check ALL service ports (just FS service) to see that CWMP and NB-API are actually accessible.
Bring up firewall for services exposed to public internet! 🙂

The download is getting completed.
The router reboots.
Any idea as to where is the default location of the image download onto the board ? And also the image flash has to happen after the reboot right ?

Asking for the CPE or GenieACS locations?
Firmware on a CPE is usually (always?) flashed before reboot.
And, IF device would support multiple firmwares in its flash (like switches and routers usually do), it then also sets the newly downloaded firmware as “primary firmware” so that after reboot, this new firmware is used. Usually - but ALL THIS info you should get from your CPE vendor. Not us. 🙂

Hi @akcoder @git-neo-si . Thank you . Pushing of the file to the device is completed.
Just one more query.
Even if I stop the easycwmpd daemon and stops informing the genieacs server, The genieacs still shows that the device is “online now” and with a green led symbol. This goes into not connected state after 5min. Where is the setting in the GenieACS side to say that the device has stopped informin and has gone offline ?

You are talking about CWMP client service on your CPE? Why would you stop it? Ever?
No, you don’t see INSTANT feedback, if CPE stops responding - usual “production environment” notification timers (like INFORM/PERIODIC) are longer, 20 min and more, 1h, 2h, 12h.
TR-069 protocol is a CONFIGURATION protocol, not MONITORING protocol. Instant notification of an outage is out of scope of TR-069.

That’s a common misunderstanding. Just because the CPE reported to the ACS a few minutes ago it means nothing about it’s “online” status. I think a more appropriate description would be “Just reported” or something like that. If a CPE (literally) crash and burn there no way for the ACS to know that in real time.
look in Admin → Config → Edit charts. But IMHO it’s a waste of time.
