What is meshCostChangeCount?

This read-write INTEGER, though its source description is empty, counts the cumulative number of mesh cost changes, paralleling the role stTopChangeCount plays for LAN spanning tree instability. An administrator treats a rapidly climbing count as a sign the mesh backup path's underlying line is unstable. For example, the admin sees meshCostChangeCount climbing rapidly and suspects the mesh backup circuit's underlying line is flapping.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.97.3.3.5.4
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> CTATX-MIB::meshCostChangeCount

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.97.3.3.5.4.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> CTATX-MIB::meshCostChangeCount.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.97.3.3.5.4.1 i <value>
