basCmtsMacNumIpBuffers

Module: BAS-CMTS-CONFIG-MIB

OID (symbolic): BAS-CMTS-CONFIG-MIB::basCmtsMacNumIpBuffers

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.3493.2.4.1.1.2.1.4

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: BasCmtsUInt16

Access: read-write

Description: Number of buffers allocated to handle downstream cable modem data message traffic. If an IP packet is addressed to the CMTS Mac address, an IP Buffer is allocated to send the data to the local host IP stack (bcmnet_fd). TBD - We probably don't need this.

What is basCmtsMacNumIpBuffers?

Sets how many buffer descriptors (1-128) are reserved for IP packets addressed to the CMTS's own MAC address, which get handed up to the local host IP stack rather than forwarded. It defaults to 32.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.3493.2.4.1.1.2.1.4
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> BAS-CMTS-CONFIG-MIB::basCmtsMacNumIpBuffers

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.3493.2.4.1.1.2.1.4.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> BAS-CMTS-CONFIG-MIB::basCmtsMacNumIpBuffers.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.3493.2.4.1.1.2.1.4.1 s <value>

SNMPv3 example:

snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> basCmtsMacNumIpBuffers.1
