Description: Textual description of the source side of the circuit endpoint.

What is circuitSrcDescString?

This is a read-only textual description of the source-side circuit endpoint, presumably auto-populated by the device based on the endpoint's configuration (protocol, interface, or connection ID) rather than something the admin types in directly. An admin uses this as a quick human-readable summary when reviewing a circuit's configuration via SNMP, without having to manually decode circuitSrcConnectionID's protocol-specific bit packing themselves. For example, this might render as something like 'Ethernet VLAN 100 on Slot 2 Port 1' so an admin doesn't need to separately cross-reference circuitEndPoint1Protocol and circuitSrcConnectionID to understand the source endpoint.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.5812.6.8.1.4
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> CIRCUIT-MIB::circuitSrcDescString

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.5812.6.8.1.4.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> CIRCUIT-MIB::circuitSrcDescString.1
