vcXDirection

Module: ATM-SWITCHING-NODE-MIB

OID (symbolic): ATM-SWITCHING-NODE-MIB::vcXDirection

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.33.1.4.1.1.8

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-only

Description: Whether this entry identifies this cross-connection in the upstream or downstream flow, as seen from the root.

Downstream means that the connection was set up from the in parameters (interface, VPI, VCI) to the out parameters (interface, VPI, VCI).

In particular, for a multicast SVC, this means that the call initiator (the root in this case) is on the interface side labeled vcXInIndex.

Upstream means that the connection was set up from the out parameters (interface, VPI, VCI) to the in parameters (interface, VPI, VCI).

As a result, any cross-connection is modeled in this table as two entries, depending on whether it is seen in the up or down stream.

What is vcXDirection?

Indicates whether this virtual channel cross-connection entry represents the upstream or downstream traffic flow relative to the root of the connection, where downstream flows from the incoming interface/VPI/VCI to the outgoing set.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.33.1.4.1.1.8
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> ATM-SWITCHING-NODE-MIB::vcXDirection

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.2.6.33.1.4.1.1.8.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> ATM-SWITCHING-NODE-MIB::vcXDirection.1
