phivRouteMaxCost

Module: DECNET-PHIV-MIB

OID (symbolic): DECNET-PHIV-MIB::phivRouteMaxCost

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.18.5.9

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: This value represents the maximum total path cost allowed from the executor to any node within an area. The path cost is the sum of the circuit costs along a path between two nodes. This parameter defines the point where the executor node's Routing routing decision algorithm declares another node unreachable because the cost of the least costly path to the other node is excessive. For correct operation, this parameter must not be less than the maximum path cost of the network.

What is phivRouteMaxCost?

Sets the maximum total path cost (the sum of circuit costs) from the executor to any node within its area; Routing declares a node unreachable once the cheapest path exceeds this value. It must be set to at least the network's actual maximum path cost, or reachable nodes will incorrectly appear unreachable.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.18.5.9
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> DECNET-PHIV-MIB::phivRouteMaxCost

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.18.5.9.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> DECNET-PHIV-MIB::phivRouteMaxCost.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.18.5.9.1 i <value>
