stackUnitCapabilities

Module: A3COM0017-STACK-CONFIG

OID (symbolic): A3COM0017-STACK-CONFIG::stackUnitCapabilities

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.43.10.27.1.1.1.9

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: OCTET STRING

Access: read-only

Description: This object describes the capabilities of this particular unit. This is used in conjunction with the upgrade level of the stack to enable a management application to correctly enable and disable the various features of the application depending on the capabilities of the unit.

The object is an octet string, where each octet represents a capability of the unit. Different capabilities will be added to the list as required. The current list of values is:

0x01 Full RMON 0x02 3Com Proprietary Resilience MIB 0x03 3Com Repeater Security MIB 0x04 PSHub Port Switching 0x05 PSHub Capability Upgrade Facility 0x06 Dual Speed Hub Capability Upgrade Facility 0x07 TelNet 0x08 Web 0x14 SMA Resource Allocator 0x15 SMA Distributed SNMP 0x16 SMA Global Variables 0x17 SMA Licence Server 0x18 PSHub Cascade Switch 0x19 PSH Load Balancing

So, for example, if a unit has a value of '02 03' for this object then it supports repeater resilience and security, but no other features such as RMON.

What is stackUnitCapabilities?

This OID reports the capabilities of a physical unit in the stack as an octet string, where each byte represents a feature the unit supports. Network operators use this to determine which features can be enabled on specific hardware. A value like hex 0x0F indicates the unit supports the first four capability classes defined by the vendor.
