What is phivAreaMaxCost?

Sets the maximum total path cost allowed from the executor to any other Level 2 routing node; applicable only if this node is configured as an AREA-type router. Like its Level 1 counterpart phivRouteMaxCost, it must be set at least as large as the actual inter-area network's maximum path cost.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.18.15.2
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> DECNET-PHIV-MIB::phivAreaMaxCost

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.18.15.2.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> DECNET-PHIV-MIB::phivAreaMaxCost.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.18.15.2.1 i <value>
