etsysPwaInitializePort

Module: ENTERASYS-PWA-MIB

OID (symbolic): ENTERASYS-PWA-MIB::etsysPwaInitializePort

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.8.2.1.1.2

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: TruthValue

Access: read-write

Description: The initialization control for this ifIndex. This object can be used to unauthenticate a user on a port or to return the port to its initial default state due to some unknown condition. Setting this attribute to true(1) causes the Port to be initialized. The attribute value reverts to false(2) once initialization has completed. Initializing a port returns the etsysPwaAuthPwaState to disconnected(1) and if the etsysPwaControlledPortControl setting is either promiscousAuto(4) or auto(2), and the etsysPwaAuthPwaState was authenticated(3), then the current session is terminated, and the user is forced off the network.

What is etsysPwaInitializePort?

Write true(1) to this per-port object to force-reset PWA state on that ifIndex back to disconnected, immediately kicking off any currently logged-in user on ports set to auto or promiscuousAuto mode; the value automatically reverts to false once the reset completes.

Examples

Walk all instances (SNMPv2c):

snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.8.2.1.1.2
snmpwalk -v2c -c public <target> ENTERASYS-PWA-MIB::etsysPwaInitializePort

Get a specific instance (index 1):

snmpget -v2c -c public <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.8.2.1.1.2.1
snmpget -v2c -c public <target> ENTERASYS-PWA-MIB::etsysPwaInitializePort.1

Set instance 1 (SNMPv2c):

snmpset -v2c -c private <target> 1.3.6.1.4.1.5624.1.2.8.2.1.1.2.1 s <value>
