pportMaxActiveVpiBits

Module: CASCADE-MIB

OID (symbolic): CASCADE-MIB::pportMaxActiveVpiBits

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.277.1.4.2.1.78

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: The maximum number of active VPI bits configured for use at the ATM interface. At the ATM UNI, the maximum number of active VPI bits configured for use ranges from 0 to 8 only.

What is pportMaxActiveVpiBits?

This sets how many of the available VPI bits are actually active for use at this ATM interface, ranging from 0 to 12 overall but restricted to 0-8 at a UNI per the description. This is distinct from the hardware's total VPI bit capacity (pportAtmNumBitsVPI); it is the administratively narrowed subset actually usable on this port, which effectively caps how many virtual paths can be provisioned on this specific interface regardless of what the hardware could otherwise support. Setting pportMaxActiveVpiBits to 4 on a UNI port limits it to 16 usable VPIs even if the underlying card hardware could address up to 256.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.277.1.4.2.1.78
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> CASCADE-MIB::pportMaxActiveVpiBits

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.277.1.4.2.1.78.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> CASCADE-MIB::pportMaxActiveVpiBits.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.277.1.4.2.1.78.1 i <value>
