What is cxChasSubSysDesc?

This read-only string is a textual description of a chassis subsystem, including the hardware type and software/operating-system version identification. An admin reads this to quickly identify what hardware and firmware version is running in a given subsystem slot without cross-referencing separate inventory tools. For example, this object might return a string like "CX1000 NME Rev 3, OS v4.2.1" describing the card's hardware and software.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.495.2.1.4.5.1.2
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> CXChassis-MIB::cxChasSubSysDesc

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.495.2.1.4.5.1.2.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> CXChassis-MIB::cxChasSubSysDesc.1

SNMPv3 example:

snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> cxChasSubSysDesc.1
