What is phivAreaMaxCost?

Configures the path-cost ceiling (1-1022) beyond which this node, when acting as a Level 2 (area) router, declares another Level 2 routing node unreachable. Only meaningful if this executor node is itself configured as an area router.

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-iv::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-iv::phivAreaMaxCost.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

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