dot3OamDyingGaspEnable

Module: DOT3-OAM-MIB

OID (symbolic): DOT3-OAM-MIB::dot3OamDyingGaspEnable

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.158.1.5.1.15

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: TruthValue

Access: read-write

Description: If true, the local OAM entity should attempt to indicate a dying gasp via the OAMPDU flags field to its peer OAM entity when a dying gasp event occurs. The exact definition of a dying gasp event is implementation dependent. If the system

does not support dying gasp capability, setting this object has no effect, and reading the object should always result in 'false'.

By default, this object should have the value true for Ethernet-like interfaces that support OAM. If the OAM layer does not support Event Notifications (as indicated via the dot3OamFunctionsSupported attribute), this value is ignored.

What is dot3OamDyingGaspEnable?

This read-write boolean, true by default where supported, controls whether the local OAM entity signals a 'dying gasp' flag to its peer when an implementation-defined power-loss or fatal event occurs; on hardware without dying-gasp capability, reading it always returns false. An admin on a device with backup power circuitry would leave this enabled so peers get last-gasp notice of an imminent outage.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.158.1.5.1.15
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> DOT3-OAM-MIB::dot3OamDyingGaspEnable

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.158.1.5.1.15.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> DOT3-OAM-MIB::dot3OamDyingGaspEnable.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.2.1.158.1.5.1.15.1 s <value>

SNMPv3 example:

snmpget -v3 -l authPriv -u snmpv3-user -a SHA -A "AuthPassword1" -x AES -X "PrivPassword1" <target> dot3OamDyingGaspEnable.1
