phivRouteMaxVisits
Module: DECnet-iv
OID (symbolic): DECnet-iv::phivRouteMaxVisits
OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.18.5.11
Node type: OBJECT-TYPE
Type: INTEGER
Access: read-write
Description: This value represents the maximum number of nodes a message coming into the executor node can have visited. If the message is not for this node and the MAXIMUM VISITS number is exceeded, the message is discarded. The MAXIMUM VISITS parameter defines the point where the packet lifetime control algorithm discards a packet that has traversed too many nodes. For correct operation, this parameter must not be less than the maximum path length of the network. (The maximum path length is the routing distance between the two nodes of the network having the greatest routing distance, where routing distance is the length of the least costly path between a given pair of nodes.)
What is phivRouteMaxVisits?
Configures how many nodes a transiting message can pass through before this node discards it as having exceeded its lifetime, protecting the network from packets looping indefinitely. Must be set no lower than the network's actual maximum path length, or legitimate long-path traffic will be dropped prematurely.
Examples
Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.18.5.11 snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> DECnet-iv::phivRouteMaxVisits
Get a specific instance (index 1):
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.18.5.11.1 snmpget -v2c -c public <target> DECnet-iv::phivRouteMaxVisits.1
Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):
snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.18.5.11.1 i <value>
