chasType
Module: CHASSIS-MIB
OID (symbolic): CHASSIS-MIB::chasType
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.800.2.1.1.2
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: XylanChasType
Access: read-only
Description: The particular type of Xylan chassis. The value of other(2) will be returned if the variable is supported but the chassis is not one of the currently known types of Omni5(3) or Omni9(4).
What is chasType?
This object reports the specific Xylan chassis model, returning other(2) if the hardware isn't one of the currently recognized Omni5(3) or Omni9(4) types. An admin managing a mixed fleet of Xylan switches uses this to quickly tell an Omni5 chassis apart from an Omni9 chassis, which matters because the two have different slot counts and capacity limits that affect module placement decisions. A larger core switch in the closet might report chasType as Omni9(4), while a smaller edge unit reports Omni5(3).
