dnsResNCacheStatus

Module: DNS-RESOLVER-MIB

OID (symbolic): DNS-RESOLVER-MIB::dnsResNCacheStatus

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.32.2.1.5.1

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: Status/action for the resolver's negative response cache.

enabled(1) means that the use of the negative response cache is allowed. Query operations can return this state.

disabled(2) means that the negative response cache is not being used. Query operations can return this state.

Setting this variable to clear(3) deletes the entire contents of the resolver's negative response cache. The status will retain its previous value from before the clear operation (i.e., enabled(1) or disabled(2)). The value of clear(3) can NOT be returned by a query operation.

What is dnsResNCacheStatus?

Controls the resolver's negative-response cache: enabled allows caching of 'no such name/data' answers, disabled turns it off, and setting it to clear wipes the cache's contents (after which the status reverts to its prior enabled/disabled value).

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.32.2.1.5.1
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> DNS-RESOLVER-MIB::dnsResNCacheStatus

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.32.2.1.5.1.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> DNS-RESOLVER-MIB::dnsResNCacheStatus.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.32.2.1.5.1.1 i <value>
