dot3OamAdminState

Module: DOT3-OAM-MIB

OID (symbolic): DOT3-OAM-MIB::dot3OamAdminState

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.158.1.1.1.1

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: This object is used to provision the default administrative OAM mode for this interface. This object represents the desired state of OAM for this interface.

The dot3OamAdminState always starts in the disabled(2) state until an explicit management action or configuration information retained by the system causes a transition to the enabled(1) state. When enabled(1), Ethernet OAM will attempt to operate over this interface.

What is dot3OamAdminState?

This read-write flag turns Ethernet OAM (802.3ah link-level monitoring) on or off for the interface, starting in disabled(2) until an admin or saved config sets it to enabled(1). Set it to enabled(1) to have the interface attempt OAM discovery with its peer, e.g. on a subscriber-access link where you want remote fault and loopback visibility.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.158.1.1.1.1
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> DOT3-OAM-MIB::dot3OamAdminState

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.158.1.1.1.1.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> DOT3-OAM-MIB::dot3OamAdminState.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.158.1.1.1.1.1 i <value>
