efmCuPAFAdminState

Module: EFM-CU-MIB

OID (symbolic): EFM-CU-MIB::efmCuPAFAdminState

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.2.1.167.1.1.1.1.1

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: Administrative (desired) state of the PAF of the EFMCu port (PCS). When 'disabled', PME aggregation will not be performed by the PCS. No more than a single PME can be assigned to this PCS in this case. When 'enabled', PAF will be performed by the PCS when the link is Up, even on a single attached PME, if PAF is supported.

PCS ports incapable of supporting PAF SHALL return a value of 'disabled'. Attempts to 'enable' such ports SHALL be rejected.

A PAF 'enabled' port with multiple PMEs assigned cannot be 'disabled'. Attempts to 'disable' such port SHALL be rejected, until at most one PME is left assigned.

Changing PAFAdminState is a traffic-disruptive operation and as such SHALL be done when the link is Down. Attempts to change this object SHALL be rejected if the link is Up or Initializing.

This object maps to the Clause 30 attribute aPAFAdminState.

If a Clause 45 MDIO Interface to the PCS is present, then this object maps to the PAF enable bit in the 10P/2B PCS control register.

This object MUST be maintained in a persistent manner.

What is efmCuPAFAdminState?

This read-write setting turns PME aggregation (bonding of multiple copper pairs) on or off for an EFM copper port. It can only be changed while the link is down since flipping it disrupts traffic, and a port that can't support aggregation always reports 'disabled'. Set it to 'enabled' before wiring up multiple PMEs to bond them into one higher-capacity link.
