a3ComPathDialCtl

Module: A3COM-PORTPATH-R6-MIB

OID (symbolic): A3COM-PORTPATH-R6-MIB::a3ComPathDialCtl

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.43.2.18.2.1.3

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: For those Paths for which the value of a3ComPathDialType is primaryDial(2) or secondaryDial(3), this object is used to control whether that Path may originate and/or answer calls.

If this object has the value answerOriginate(1), this Path can both answer and originate calls.

If this object has the value answerNoOriginate(2), this Path can answer calls, but it is not allowed to originate them.

If this object has the value noAnswerOriginate(3), this Path is not allowed to answer calls, but it is allowed to originate them.

If this object has the value noAnswerNoOriginate(4), this Path is not allowed to answer calls or originate them. In order for any modifications to take effect, the path must be enabled(re-enabled if it is already enable).

This object's values are ignored for non serial paths.

What is a3ComPathDialCtl?

This INTEGER OID controls whether a dial path can originate, answer, both, or neither incoming calls. Engineers configure this to enforce call direction policies—for example, allowing only inbound calls on backup paths. Setting it to 'answerOnly' prevents expensive outbound calls on secondary dial links.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.43.2.18.2.1.3
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> A3COM-PORTPATH-R6-MIB::a3ComPathDialCtl

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.43.2.18.2.1.3.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> A3COM-PORTPATH-R6-MIB::a3ComPathDialCtl.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.43.2.18.2.1.3.1 i <value>
