cbStartDateAndTime

Module: CISCO-BERT-MIB

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

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.185.1.1.1.1.12

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: DateAndTime

Access: read-only

Description: The Date and Time when the last BERT testing is started on the interface. This object is valid only when cbRowStatus is active(1).

What is cbStartDateAndTime?

This read-only value reports the date and time when the most recent BERT test started on the interface, and is valid only while cbRowStatus is active. Because this only reflects the start of the current or most recent run and is only meaningful while a test is active, checking it alongside the configured cbDuration lets an admin calculate how much longer a running BERT has left, or confirm a completed test's timing against other logged events. Reading this as 14:00 with cbDuration set to 3600 seconds tells the admin the test is scheduled to finish at 15:00.
