chasControlDCEWordSize

Module: CHASSIS-MIB

OID (symbolic): CHASSIS-MIB::chasControlDCEWordSize

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.800.2.1.3.1.1.4

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: This is the current (and desired) word size for serial port 0 (DCE). The power-on default is 8 bits.

What is chasControlDCEWordSize?

This object holds the current (and desired) serial word size (data bits) for the DCE console port 0, defaulting to 8 bits at power-on. This must match the connecting terminal's configuration for the console to work at all, and unlike the SNMP-manageable production interfaces, a mismatch here effectively locks an admin out of console access until corrected via another management path. A misconfigured terminal client set to 7 data bits against a chassis with chasControlDCEWordSize left at the default 8 would show garbled console output.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.800.2.1.3.1.1.4
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> CHASSIS-MIB::chasControlDCEWordSize

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.800.2.1.3.1.1.4.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> CHASSIS-MIB::chasControlDCEWordSize.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.800.2.1.3.1.1.4.1 i <value>
