decAtmBatteryTest

Module: DEC-ATM-CHASSIS-MIB

OID (symbolic): DEC-ATM-CHASSIS-MIB::decAtmBatteryTest

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.36.2.18.30.1.8.4

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: This shows the result of the last battery test performed. Testing the battery is risky -- the system is temporarily switched to run off the battery, so if the battery backup subsystem is not working, the system fails and restarts.

Only the value test(3) can be written. Writes of other values are erroneous.

This object is meaningful only if the battery is present.

What is decAtmBatteryTest?

Reports the result of the last backup-battery self-test (pass, fail, test-in-progress, or notTested) and lets an admin trigger a new test by writing test(3). Because testing briefly switches the chassis onto battery power, admins should only trigger it during a maintenance window in case the battery subsystem itself is faulty and the switch reboots.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.36.2.18.30.1.8.4
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> DEC-ATM-CHASSIS-MIB::decAtmBatteryTest

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.36.2.18.30.1.8.4.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> DEC-ATM-CHASSIS-MIB::decAtmBatteryTest.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.36.2.18.30.1.8.4.1 i <value>
