Description: The desired capability of the card

What is cardAdminCapability?

This is the configured feature or capability mode an admin wants this card to operate as, chosen from a set of IOP and CP (control processor) service profiles. Because different capability modes unlock different feature sets and resource limits on the same physical hardware, mismatching this against what the card can actually deliver, visible in cardOperCapability, is a common cause of a card coming up with fewer features than expected after a configuration change. For example, an admin sets cardAdminCapability to cp-50(10) expecting the higher control-processor capacity tier, but if the physical CP hardware only supports cp-30, cardOperCapability will reveal the mismatch.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.277.1.7.2.1.73
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> CASCADE-MIB::cardAdminCapability

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.277.1.7.2.1.73.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> CASCADE-MIB::cardAdminCapability.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.277.1.7.2.1.73.1 i <value>
