bscPortRole

Module: CISCO-BSC-MIB

OID (symbolic): CISCO-BSC-MIB::bscPortRole

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.36.1.1.1.1.1

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-only

Description: The router's DLC role to the attached node. If the bscPortRole is primary, this implies that the port is connected to a remote secondary device. If the role is generic, this indicates that the port will be running framed bisynchronous frames with an unknown protocol. If this object does not have the value 'contention' then bscPortVirtualAddress will not be instantiated. If this object does not have the value 'dialContention' then bscPortContentionDialTimeout will not be instantiated.

What is bscPortRole?

Reports the BSC (Bisynchronous) role of the router's data link on this port—whether it acts as the primary station polling a remote secondary device, or as a generic station running framed bisync frames with an unspecified role.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.36.1.1.1.1.1
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> CISCO-BSC-MIB::bscPortRole

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.36.1.1.1.1.1.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> CISCO-BSC-MIB::bscPortRole.1
