cbRowStatus

Module: CISCO-BERT-MIB

OID (symbolic): CISCO-BERT-MIB::cbRowStatus

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.185.1.1.1.1.14

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: RowStatus

Access: read-write

Description: The status of this conceptual row. This object is used for create or modify or deleting an entry from this table.

To create a row in this table, a manager must set this object to either createAndGo(4) or createAndWait(5).

Until instances of all corresponding columns are appropriately configured, the value of the corresponding instance of the cbRowStatus is notReady(3).

An entry can be deleted by setting this object to destroy(6).

STARTING BERT: Two approaches:

1. set this object to createAndGo(4) with all the mandatory objects set to valid values.

2. Set this object to createAndWait(4). Reading this object at this stage returns notReady(3).

Set all the other required objects with valid values.

Set this object to active(1).

STOP/RESTART BERT:

The BERT can be stopped by setting this object to notInService(2). After setting it to notInService(2), some parameters can be modified and BERT can be started by setting this object to active(1).

STOP BERT:

An entry can be deleted by setting this object to destroy(6). Deleting an entry stops the BERT test.

What is cbRowStatus?

This read-write RowStatus object creates, modifies, and deletes a BERT test entry, remaining notReady until all corresponding columns are appropriately configured, and requiring createAndGo or createAndWait to create a new row. Setting this to active is literally the command that starts the BERT test running on the interface, and because cbTestPattern locks once the test runs, this object doubles as both the row-management control and the actual go button for the test itself, unlike most RowStatus objects which are purely administrative. An admin configures cbTestPattern and cbDuration on a new row, then sets this to active to actually kick off the bit-error-rate test on that interface.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.185.1.1.1.1.14
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> CISCO-BERT-MIB::cbRowStatus

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.185.1.1.1.1.14.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> CISCO-BERT-MIB::cbRowStatus.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.185.1.1.1.1.14.1 s <value>
