phivAreaCost

Module: DECnet-iv

OID (symbolic): DECnet-iv::phivAreaCost

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: Gauge

Access: read-only

Description: The total cost over the current path to the destination area. Cost is a value associated with using a circuit. Routing routes messages (data) along the path between 2 areas with the smallest cost.

What is phivAreaCost?

Total routing cost of the current best path to the destination area in this table row; Routing always prefers the inter-area path with the lowest total cost. Rising cost to a given area without a topology change can indicate a link on that inter-area path degrading.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.18.15.1.1.3
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> DECnet-iv::phivAreaCost

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.18.15.1.1.3.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> DECnet-iv::phivAreaCost.1
