decAtmKeyswitchPosition
Module: DEC-ATM-CHASSIS-MIB
OID (symbolic): DEC-ATM-CHASSIS-MIB::decAtmKeyswitchPosition
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.36.2.18.30.1.1.2
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: INTEGER
Access: read-only
Description: Indicates the position of the keyswitch. The keyswitch
position determines the type of access allowed to network
management and to out-of-band management.
For SNMP access, 'secure' means no SNMP access. 'Local'
means read-only SNMP access. Other values allow read-
write SNMP access. Access is still subject to community
string, IP address, and privileged port restrictions.
Now that I think about it, the 'secure' value (which was
copied from GIGAswitch/FDDI) is silly. If the keyswitch
is in that position, you will not be able to read
What is decAtmKeyswitchPosition?
Reports the physical keyswitch position on the chassis, which gates the level of SNMP access allowed: 'secure' blocks SNMP entirely, 'local' permits only read-only access, and other positions allow read-write access (still subject to community string and IP restrictions). If SET operations to the switch keep failing, check this object first, since a 'secure' or 'local' keyswitch position — not a permissions bug — may be the real cause.
